I have OS X 10.9.4 version. I want to burn a CD-RW. After inserting the CD it's ejecting on its own. Kindly help. I can't burn songs on it.

Optical drives and optical media are failure-prone. Try different media and try a different optical drive — optical media that is immediately ejected on insertion usually implies there's a problem with the particular batch of media or with the optical drive. If it's not an internal optical drive that you're working with, try the drive on a different system too, and see if it works there. (This assumes the optical drive is compatible with CD-RW — most any recent optical drive will be, but if this is a very old optical drive or a read-only drive, it might not be able to write CD-RW.)

FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR INTERNAL SUPERDRIVE


This might help. If you haven't done so yet, try installing Apple's SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0, which is on Apple's support site at http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201953 to see if that resolves it. Apple says "This update addresses noise made by the optical disk drive during wake from sleep on your Mac." Although not related to what Apple mentions, the firmware update seems to be important for making external SuperDrives work in Yosemite, and it is one step I used to get my SuperDrive to work in a USB external case when plugged into my MacBook Pro.


Please let us know either way, whether the firmware update helps or not in your situation.
