How to force the eject on a mac?

Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions.

Ouch sorry to hear that, Slot loading drives cannot allocate those mini cds, you might be lucky enough that it might read it and eject it.

Heres for more information: about your drive--> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88288 and for those who wont work--> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88275 . Next time ask before doing this it could save you a lot of trouble.

Hope it helps,

Hi again.

Once a normal cd got stuck in my ol` PowerBook G4, what i did is as it is said on the manual, hold the track-pad button at startup ( click ) apparently thats the shortcut to a forced eject, i don`t know if it will be useful in your case.

Hope it helps,

Hi, sorry

I personally thought that would do it, however you might want to reset the PRAM (command alt+pr at startup until you hear 3 beeps) and you might want to reset the PMU ( in intel case is called SMC system management controller) [ force quit al apps, shut down computer, remove AC power cord, then remove battery and hold the power button 5 seconds, Then replug the power cord, the battery and turn on the computer ] since it like restarts your computer power management ( system management) it might help.

Hope it helps

Try to slowly insert a blank disk up to the point where it wants to grab it. This may force an eject.
