It's a 27" late 2009 iMac. The slot's not much wider than a CD, and with
the foam rubber guard in the way, there's about 0 chance it'll come out on
its own just from gravity. ... Guess there's no other way than to place
the unit on its side, fish around with a paper clip, and hope to get
lucky. Tha
I don’t know what model iMac it is, but all the Macs I have dealt with have a
long narrow short-bristled brush strip on each side of the slot (not rubber).

Seriously, I couldn’t answer this question unless the unit were in front of me

Without looking, a new student in our lab slid his SD memory card into the CD
slot on his iMac by mistake. And it went all the way in. Kinda makes you wonder
how many people have done that before, as they’re adjacent to each other.
Anyway, is there any known way to go about extracting it without
