Mar 25, 2012 3:26 PM in response to EddieQLDby Johnb-one,Sure ! -I"m presuming you're using a Mac Pro and not a MacBook Pro, which are different cats. For the CD, reboot and hold down the mouse button, and keep holding it down, then the CD should eject. Failing that, you could try "the old paperclip trick". carefully pull down the aluminum shutter covering the cd tray and look underneath the tray, You'll probably see a power light and a small hole. use a very stiff, sturdy paperclip, straighten it out and stick it in the hole.The tray should now release just enough for you to grab the tray and get the cd out. As for your Mac running slow, how much RAM do you have on board? Try running Disk Utility, Onyx or TechTool Pro, hopefully 1 of those 3 should help your Mac run better. Just FYI, this is a Mac pro forum, y'know the tower things, not Macbook pro-just letting you know for future reference. The paperclip trick probably won't work if it's a portable Mac. also, try doing an SMC reset....
