Help ejecting a disc

Try this

 

Ya,

If you say you can hear it trying to eject, it doesn't sound like an issue with your computer being stubborn, but rather a bad disk or some physical damage that is preventing an eject.

It sounds to me like a repair shop would be the next option. Or, send it in to apple if you have applecare.

Try restarting and holding down eject from the startup sound.

 

Paper Clip !!!

 

They don't all have that option

 

Did you try holding "Comand + E" keys while booting (just after the boot chime).

 

i've had the same problem with my ibook g4 tried all kinds of things and the disc wouldn't come out.(the mechanism kicks in and you can here it operating but it can't eject the cd) brought it back to the apple store and they replaced my drive with a new one. took about 3 day's.but now it's working without any probelms.

 

The only other thing to try is terminal:

or

1. Type the command drutil list into the Terminal and press return . This will provide a list of all currently connected removable devices. -- connect FireWire/USB drives for this
2. Use the command drutil tray eject 1

From this site. Although the problem does sound mechanical if none of the other techniques will work.

 

Can we assume that no reply from Mr Hurl means he got the disc out anyway?

Or maybe he's sent it off... who noes?
