    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive

    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.

    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.

    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.

    4. Press COMMAND-E.

    5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
    /usr/bin/drutil eject

    If this fails then try this:

    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT14… At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

    • all tried and none worked but thanks for the thoughthans_glib
    • if only they had kept the pinhole. i mentioned this to the humourless support guy and he said "i wouldn't recommend that sir". dumbass.hans_glib
