CD won't eject help

[bprice]

I've got an Intel Mac Mini

I tried loading program from a CD.It wouldn't load now it won't eject.
i've tried everything in the help menu for eject disc

1.re-starting

2.re-start hold down:
mouse button
return

3.hold down F12 key

4.app>util>terminal
type command> drutil eject....doesn't work

5.typecommand> drutil list
gave me the list but command> eject ......didn't work
now typing drutil list doesn't give me even the list anymore...???


6.Finder>file>eject> (grayed out)
Disk utility CD rom isn't present


7.System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras and double-clicking the file "Eject.menu"....nothing

as far as I can tell MM doesn't recog CD at all.It spins on start up then stops

out of ideas and growing tired of searching .....:(

Behind the felt of the DVD drive on the left side is the manual eject button. Try that.

..Are you talking about a Mini?...what "felt"....(do you mean inside the FRONT slot?) what manual eject button....

Some slot drives have a manual eject "hole" (old paper clip trick) behind the sponge or felt opening. Try here: http://www.maxresponse.co.uk/guide-ejectcd.html

Try Disk Utility in Your Applications Folder-->Utilities.. Usually works for me.

oh nevermind, said that you tried that..

I had to triple check I was on the MAC MINI forum.There is no PINHOLE on a mini ..(unless it's small as a pin and I can't see it....;)
