Many ways—Many options:
-dragging and dropping the icon for the CD into your trashcan
- Restart the computer and after the chime (older computers) press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
- Press the Eject/Esc button on your keyboard.
- Click on the Eject button in the menubar, Finder>File>Eject
- Press Command E
- Open the Terminal application in your Applications/Utilities folder. copy & paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If all this fails then try this:
- Boot the computer into single user mode—hold down Command S through the boot process— at the prompt copy & paste:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
Restart the computer enter reboot at the prompt or shutdown
- restart hold down trackpad button

Re-starting and left mouse button trick worked. Many thanks.
