How to eject a DVD from the external CDROM drive on an older iMac. The DVD had lots of photos stored and it was taking a long time for them to be opened, one at a time. I tried to eject the DVD from the drive but it wouldn't eject. I left the computer running so all the photos could be opened. When I came back the computer had gone to sleep. I opened the desktop and the symbol for the CDROM Drive was gone, but the DVD had not been ejected. How to I get the DVD out of the external drive?? Should I shut the computer down and see if it ejects? Not much help in other threads here. I don't see a manual eject button or hole to force an ejection. Suggestions?? Thanks
