the super drive on my 24'' imac wont eject a cd i put in there...it acts like it wants to, but just wont spit it out! does anyone have any tips to get it out?
 
I have had this happen multiple times, Apple eventually replaced my 24" white iMac with a new one because of it.

What worked for me a couple times when the eject trick didn't work, was to put a used no good CD in partially behind the stuck one and while ejecting pull on the CD. It gave it a wedge to grab then they both came out.
 
fun??!!

even more fun is putting a CD in while not looking..

= CD snaps in half.
