Command+E only ejects when there is a disc inside.

maybe i should mention.. i have a g4 with the mirror panels & the 4 holes at the bottom.
- rasko40
hmm not sure on those, there is usually a small hole to one side.. just push it in there

put your finger at the bottom of the door. move it to the middle. push inward. the top will open for you. pull the door down. then you will see a small hole bottom right of opened mirrored door. pop the clip in there. Out she pos and your home free.

its not like something is stuck in there. i need an easy way to open it whenever i feel like it, (something as simple as pressing the eject key on a mac keyboard).

hold down the left mouse button and reboot the computer. CD will pop out. for a built-in zip drive, use a pencil or something to get at the little button on the drive itself right underneath the face of the case.

or if you don't have a mac keyboard, you can program your eject key in the settings menu (10.3)
