Re: Can't eject Cd

[Juaanita Marttin]

Never mind.  I turned the drive pointing down and gravity helped pop the disk 
out.  What a scare though!

RE: Can't eject Cd

[David Griffith]

Sarah on this list passed a tip to me which has helped me in this situation.

Restart your Mac and whilst it is restarting hold a finger down on the
trackpad.
If all goes well the CD should eject as your Mac finishes it restart.

Subject: Can't eject Cd

I got a Cd drive for my MacBook Air a few days ago.  I'm in the process of
putting all my Cd's on it.  There's a Cd in the drive now.  When I do the
eject command, nothing happens.  I hear the drive make noise but the Cd
doesn't pop out.  There isn't a physical eject button on the drive itself,
so how do I get the Cd out?

Will that work with an external super drive attached? I'll have a chance to 
test this in a few months as my air does not have a cd drive. lol. I'm hoping 
someone beats me to the answer though lol!

Try holding down the mouse button (trackpad in your case) while powering up the 
Mac.
