SuperDrive won't eject disc I have an Apple SuperDrive with a disc that will not eject no matter what I do. When I hit eject, it unmounts, doesn't come out of the drive, then immediately re-mounts itself. I have tried a number of different things, including: Ejecting from Finder (with right click as well) Ejecting from Desktop (with right click as well) Ejecting by dragging the icon to the Trash icon Restarting the computer Restarting the computer in safe mode/single user mode/etc to eject the disc/drive from there Unplugging the drive and plugging it into a different iMac and then a Macbook Air Using Disk Utility to eject/unmount the disc/drive Using Disk Utility to eject repair the disc (it shows no issues) Every now and then (but not always) an error message shows up stating the disc cannot be ejected--but then the error resolves itself, unmounts the disc, doesn't eject it, and re-mounts it again. I have searched extensively and cannot seem to find an answer for people with a similar issue (what shows up the most is help relating to discs ejecting themselves when they aren't supposed to). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
