Honestly, if you are finished with these and it still doesn't eject, take it to Apple. There is no manual eject button or

hole with Apple.

To get rid of that eject icon on the bar, hold down the Apple key and drag it off.

Hi edmetric. Started in safe mode holding shift key. The icon appeared on desktop, and also in finder and disk

utility. In disk utility, two discs were shown (apart from the main HD): 714.3 MB Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-

K06A and 622.0 MB Untitled. I selected the first one and clicked the eject button. Both the disc names

vanished but the CD did not come out. How can a single disc show two disc names (one of them a DVD name!)?

Strange.

Had tried the option-command-p-r thing before, did not help. Holding C during restart also gave the CD icon on

the desktop and finder, but on clicking eject the same thing happened. The icon vanished but the CD did not come

out. This happens frequently, the icon appears but after pressing eject, vanishes without releasing CD. I think it's

time for Apple to earn some money from a situation they themselves have created.

This happens and you are still able to play the CD? Are you using Tiger 10.4.9? Update and try again.

I'm at the end of my suggestions. Time for Apple. ;-)

Ok, hal9k, there can only be two things wrong. The drive is dead or random dead which is just as bad.

The part in red is my suspicion. I say this because when I ordered my MacBook Pro from Amazon many, many

moons ago, I have very similar problems. I stuck a disk in. It seemed to be recognized and would start to work, but

then I could not get it to eject. It finally did get it ejected and tried another disk (was thinking disk was bad). When

through the whole process of disk kind of working, not ejecting, shutting down, no dice...etc...I could have written

one the previous posts it sounded so like my situation.

End result was my optical drive was DOA. Had to ship it back and get a replacement from Amazon.

CD still enjoying its stay in the imac. But the mechanical, whirring, ejecting noises are back. The CD icon too is

consistently on the desktop, it vanishes for a bit when eject command is given, then comes back home to the

desktop like a faithful dog. I am wondering what kind of an idiot has designed this joke of a computer, giving

absolutely no thought to situations like these, situations that demand a manual intervention. Sad days for a

computer that once used to be invincible (I had used one in a magazine job a couple of years back and none of the

Apples in the office ever gave any -- repeat ANY -- trouble). The present Mac is a disaster.

I had a CD stuck in an iMac at work today and i came across this post somehow. It made sound of ejecting but it

was STUCK! it was kinda being forced back into the slot while ejecting.. (i wonder if this happens to anyone else.

anyway....my solution may help someone someday...)

I tried all the solutions above and couldn't get the disc out... then i figured out it was more of a mechanical problem

rather than a software problem.

Since calling the service was the last thing i would like to do... i was still trying all kind of methods that was

provided on the net...somehow I noticed the CD-rom actually "un-mount mechanically" while the disc finish

loading/reading. so i tried with a card pushing the "mount" againist it's resting position (while it's resting) and

pressed eject on my keyboard. CD OUT!
