Try restarting while holding the eject button or try doing it with the trackpad pressed down.

1 - enter the following command into the Terminal app followed by either the Enter or Return key:

drutil tray eject

You many have to do it several times in a row.


2 - If that fails some have had success by slipping a index card or stock of about the same stiffness in the slot trying to get it under the disk and then run the eject command again.


3 - lastly make an appointment at the nearest Apple Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider to have it removed.
