Hi, I have an intel imac with a cd stuck in the dvd player. I have tried all the obvious things suggested by googling the problem, mouse button and restart, eject button, icon eject, terminal eject, the only other thing suggested is taking it apart, surely there is a non invasive way to manually eject like the old paper clip in the hole?


Best Regards
