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.

this solved my problem but I don't know how to give you points. It was a disk that had not had the session closed on a pc.
I looked this up after the genius at my local Apple Store could not help, and this worked for me--hitting the eject button and tilting it to the side.
Hello there, thanks so much for your tip. It woked! Saved me the time and cost of going to the store.
Rtagi I'm glad I could help! I'm all about practical solutions and this one continues to help me too.
This really helped! Thanks so much 🙂
OMG that worked for me haha. THANK YOU.
You saved me!!! I tried every single tip in this thread and nothing worked until I read yours.
YOU my friend, are a genius!
Thanks Jackson - your method has just worked for me 🙂

Pushing the option key during a reboot and then hitting eject once the computer was back on worked perfectly! it was stuck for days! thanks so much DS!
