"If you can’t eject a CD or DVD from an external optical drive

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > Log Out, then log in again. Try to eject the disc again.
If you still can’t eject the CD or DVD, choose Apple menu > Restart. While your computer restarts, press and hold the mouse or trackpad button until the disc is ejected."
