Eject a stuck CD/DVD from a MacBook Pro SuperDrive
Authored by: Gare on Oct 11, '07 09:12:40PM

I can verify this works on a new iMac also.
Apple gave me a dozen different ways to eject a CD/DVD and nothing worked. They suggested i take it to an Apple store. I used a thin but heavy piece of paper and folded it so that it would be about an 1 and 1/2 wide and about 6" long; slipped it into the slot to the front of the disk. Restarted my computer and in about 30 sec's out popped the disk.

Eject a stuck CD/DVD from a MacBook Pro SuperDrive

Another update!

Put a CD into my drive that had been sent to me and it would not load or eject. Tried re-booting many times and twice the disk image came up on the desktop. But even then, when I tried ejecting, the disk image disappeared from the desktop but the disk itself would not eject.

Kept re-booting and trying everything above, holding the mouse down and other suggested keys/buttons, had my tongue in the right position and all - but just could not get the disk to eject.

Then I read the post above and held the MBP upside down and pressed the eject button.

Out came the CD as smooth as silk! ;-)

Thanks for that post - you saved me!
