I have a CD stuck in my MacBook Pro. How can I get it out?
MacBook Pro
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.
Thanks Kappy and DS. I tried Kappy's 5 suggestions but they didn't work. I then tried DS' and had success! Saved me a lot of stress:)
i have a mini CD stuck inside. any suggestions?
Orient the MBP so that gravity is your ally. Wrap tape around a tongue depressor or the like, sticky side out and see if you can snag the disk.
Ciao.
WOWZA !!
It works…. fantastic
Thanks DS, Your suggestion worked very well
Thank you so much, your tilt trick worked perfectly...I had a CD with a thick, disc-sized label on it and it was physically stuck in the drive. Tilting got it out first try.
