disc will not eject
The disc will not eject no matter what I do. I've tried moving the disc icon to the trash; turning computer off and on; force quitting. Nothing has worked.
Thanks for any help.

Kappys Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
- Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
- Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
- Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
- Press COMMAND-E.
- If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
