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:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. 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.
try using a vacum cleaner
Thanks DS. Your advice worked like a charm.
Thanks des, worked for me!
Thanks ds so cool
Thanks Kappy, ejecting through terminal is very useful. I wasn't aware of this method till now
Thanks for the tip, Kappy! I was able to successfully eject the cd using the drutil eject command.
I tried everything in this post to no avail. Then I tried jacksonbrookssharpe's suggestion (without the fingers) while hitting the eject button. Worked like a charm. Weird huh? Thanks Jack!
how do you reboot it?
still didn't work...
Wow your advice really worked. I was in the process of converting 4 videos which take a while. So I did not want to restart and all that. I would have to start all over again. Thanks!-Asha

tried this, it didn't pull the cd out, but then i tried jacksonbrookssharpe's method, and enough of the cd came out that I could pull it out.
Thanks jacksonbrooksharpe.
your advice worked for me!!
Thank you for this very simple tip. worked first time. I just squeezed the base lightly to stop the CD and out it popped. Easy.
Perfect advice. Turned the MacBookPro over, squeezed underneath, and enough of the DVD stuck out for me to pull.
Thanks!
