Apple Superdrive issues
My Apple superdrive doesn't seem to work anymore.
I have unplugged and replugged back in but it's not appearing and there is a disc stuck inside which won't eject.
How do I fix this?

See what happens when you create a new Administrator User and login to it and perform and eject. If it works, then it is something misconfigured in your current user.
