I wanted to put my Camera chip inside my computer...I was looking and put it in the DVD Slot...Now I cannot remove it...Has this happened to anyone? If so how did you remove the chip? Thank you.
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), I have a OS X 10.8.3
P.S. I meant to say I wasn't looking and dropped my chip in the DVD slot.
Get a business card or similar strip of cardboard and put double-sided tape on it. Slide it in and fish around until you get the chip stuck to the tape. Don't use so much tape that it will stick to everything inside the drive slot.
Thank you...Someone at the Apple community helped me...I made from a cardboard an L shape cut out ..slide ii tin the slot and pull out the chip. It worked!!!
That's a good option, too (obviously).
Especially if you don't have double-sided tape around.

My eventual solution was to invest in new glasses!! 🙂
Glad it's all good now.

I put my photo chip in the wrong slot. I put it in the DVD slot and can't get it out...Has this happened to anyone...and what did you do to get out that photo chip?
