Can’t eject disc. Macbook Pro. Tried all recommendations. Is it possible I have two discs inserted? My daughter was using it sometime ago, had played discs. What next?

A version of the problem that hasn't been described here yet:

I recently had my Macbook repaired for a different problem. Since then, the DVD drive has been a little reluctant to accept DVDs, and this evening it absolutely refused to eject one. The mechanism kept *trying* to eject the disc, but it was never successful.

I've been noticing that, after the repair, the bottom case was not screwed in perfectly -- I can feel a seam between the bottom and the side when I run my finger along it, but moreso on the side with the DVD drive. I finally decided that this may have misaligned the drive just a bit, so I tried gently squeezing the bottom panel and keyboard side of the bottom case together while I pushed eject -- et voila! One ejected disc.

"I have yet to hear of a vacuum cleaner motor doing harm to a MBP."

You've done this how many times?

Thanks for info regarding jammed cd worked a treat been trying all morning thanks again

If at some point you have issues with your hard drive you'll know why.

I have another solution...

It happened to me and I'm serious!! I've read over 3 discussions, tried everything

If the posted solutions didn't work try to check if their's actually a disk in your drive

OR see if you've got VMware or Parallels running and check if the CD/DVD is being used there. Happened to me more than once.

My hero!!! 😍 That was it! Parallels was running - something the IT guy just installed so I could run a PC only software program.

Hero! This worked a treat for us - and out came a cardboard cd!

This worked for me... seriously...

Yes, I worked myself up to Oglethorp's solution #6

And the disc literally came flying out.

Wow. I cannot believe that the only way to get a disc out of my laptop is to turn it sideways and shake it. Thanks!

omg, the first recommendation works for me!! thank you so much, you save my life.

Thank you so much I think this is the 2nd time you have helped me with this problem. Much appreciated.

Shaking my mac worked a charm 🙂 thanks!!

tipping my computer and gently shaking it as I pressed the eject button also worked for me!
