Disc won't eject anymore after burning

With the new iTunes 9.0 update my discs won't eject after I burn them. No matter how many times I smash the eject button on my disc drive the only way I can eject it is to restart my computer, and frankly doing this every time I want to burn a disc is becoming a joke.

Anyone else having the same problem so that I know its a local setting? Or anyone know a fix?

Mine is now getting this same problem. Also when i burn a CD it will cut out midsong onto another track. So far i've been through like 5 cd's thinking it is either a bad cd with something already on it, or playing a song while burning or closing my laptop while burning etc. Is this being worked on?? It is ****** that I'm chewing through cd's because of an update I ran thinking it would help :?

Mine stalls at the final initialization period, won't stop, and continues doing nothing forever ... the icon does not appear on the desktop, or in the finder window, so I can't eject it either (not that I'd want to while it's doing the final init). Only when I restart can I then eject the CD - which is not complete because it didn't finish the final init.

Yep, all this happened after the software update.

I have the same problem. After burning, CD used to automatically eject.

Now it does not eject. It also does not show up in the "Library" panel as a disk. Executing the command "Eject Disk" (from the iTunes "Control" menu) does nothing. CD also does not show up in Finder as a disk. The only way to eject is to use the Eject key in the upper right of the keyboard.

I am having the same problem, itunes will burn the first disc and eject, but any subsequent disc will only eject after a reboot. I have tried multiple different ways of opening the tray to no avail. Some times the disc is incomplete when I manage to get it out of the drive. I have reinstalled Itunes and have upgraded to Win 7. Anyone had any joy with this?
