Open terminal and type in

drutil eject

if that doesn't work, try this from macosxhints:

If a CD or DVD is physically stuck inside your MacBook's or MacBook Pro's slot-in drive (e.g. when you've inserted

a CD

with a paper label) this tip might be useful:

When pressing the eject button the disc is moved a tiny bit and pulled back inside immediately afterwards. You can

probably see only a very tiny bit if it, but that part can?t be caught by regular tweezers or other tools available in a

typical household. I also unsuccessfully tried some tips for removing a stuck DVD floating around the web.

Instead, try to use the shutter of an old 3.5" floppy disc, and bend both ends of the shutter slightly outwards, so

that the disc can easily slip between the ends. Now you have a tool that is thin enough to go a bit deeper into you

Mac's slot-in drive. Press the Eject button and try to catch a tiny part of the disc with your newly-built tool. You

should have a fairly good grip on the disc, and you can start to pull it out -- very slowly!

Warning: Be careful. You can easily ruin your disc or drive. When in doubt, contact your local Apple service

partner.

Thanks!

This got the disk out for me as well, but i'm assuming since i have this problem, i need a new Superdrive.

If so i can't find a DVR-K06A anywhere on Ebay.

Any thoughts on a good (inexpensive) source for these?

thanks

if you've tried all the software routes (the various eject commands), and it's clear the disk is just plain stuck, then

try tweezers -- my disk was stuck and only poked out a centimeter or so everytime my mac tried to eject it. i timed it

just right and grabbed it and pulled it out. someone else posted saying he used credit cards on either side to clamp

it and pull. same concept (obviously you might ruin the CD with the tweezers, but better than lugging the imac

downtown to the repair center). we figured out problem was the the thick label stuck on the CD.

Hi Hhal9k (nice name!), well i read your post long time after you write it, but I'm sorry to tell you that the problem

is a hardware one, I got the same problem and after lots of "tricks" realized that the disk was "trapped" by the

drive, the center piece lock didn't release the disk, unfortunately, that driver apparently sucks because lots of

people with iMacs have the same problem.

I finally open my iMac, open the drive and removed the disc, even that way was hard to disengage the disk, the

locks are apparently too hard and some disk with center just a little smaller become trapped. worst of all, after the

first time, it becomes more and more usual (the locks are scratched every time a disk get stuck inside and this

make the problem bigger)

I recommend you to buy another drive, an external one, with an open tray, more than slot ones, slot drives had lots
