I know you already had your problem answered, but this other trick worked when all the others failed. When ejecting the CD, I would tilt my macbook sideways so the CD drive was angled down at a slant while pressing my fingers up against the bottom of my mac and into the CD drive, which would push the CD out. Hopefully this works as an alternative method and it helps somebody out.
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!
