I noticed my eject icon was missing after installing an update last month and using my apple keybourd dosn't work either, can anyone help?
PowerMac, Mac OS 9.1.x
What update was this?
Can you open iTunes & eject it?
hi i downloaded OSXUpd10.9.1.dmg and then Safari5.0.6Leopard.dmg, i will try itunes.
having installed quicktime i was then able to install itunes but using Controls and selecting Eject Disc still nothing happened.
Hmmm, what OS are we dealing with exactly, you mention OS 9.1, OSX 10.9.1, & Leopard DMG, (Leopard is 10.5.x).
Have you tried holding the eject or f12 key down for a few seconds?

Might try this...
On your main hard drive, dig down into System > Library > CoreServices > Menu Extras. Inside that window, double-click on the icon called Eject.menu.
hi, tried all options available using the original apple keyboard to no effect, ended up calling tech services at apple and allowed them to access my desktop which showed the mac was not showing my any of my devices including external drives i had plugged in to several peripherals as they were also not showing as added hardware. yet before the update i had the eject icon and had played my childrens DVD. will take to local shop apple recommended as i also installed a airport extreme card today which is also not showing on the desktop.
also apple noted that even though my mac download the lastest update which showed Mavericks it hadn't installed it as its actually on Leopard??? so i should have not allowed the download so at the moment i am on 10.5.
reset FW bus, same goes for USB reset...
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.
