So Doug
every Mac made before this year seem to have been made with a DVD drive in it
and those DVD drives were slot loaded, not trays. So DVD's could get stuck in
them. I have heard stories about people not being able to get DVD's out of the
drive. Are there some tricks to make this easier?
First
try the standard things
1. Try the eject button on your
keyboard
2. Right click on the disk on your
desktop and choose the eject from the menu
Then
try these
1. Try restarting the Mac and
after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button (or left corner on
your touch pad) and see if that gets the disk to eject.
2. Next I would check the disk
utility program and select the disk there and see if you can select the eject
menu option.
3. If that doesn't work I have
heard people tilt and shake the Mac and sometimes the disk falls out.
4. I guess the next thing I might
be doing is throwing it against the wall but you really don't want to do that.
5. If none of the above works try
this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter
or paste the following: "/usr/bin/drutil eject" and click enter. The
disk should eject.
6. If this fails then try this,
boot the computer into single-user mode by holding down (Command)⌘ -S
through the boot process. At the prompt enter "/usr/bin/drutil eject".
The disk should eject. To restart the computer enter "reboot"
at the prompt or "shutdown".
If it is still stuck you may have to take a trip to the Apple store and I am sure they can resolve the problem.
