Opening an MDD optical drive without apple keyboard?

[raysfan81]

I'm using synergy right now with my PC as the server and I can't get the MDD optical drive to open. Any ideas?

Isn't it F12?

My MDD is unplugged at the moment, but couldn't you open a terminal and use drutil tray eject?

Use the finder to navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras and double click on Eject.menu. You'll get an eject symbol in the menu bar beside the volume etc. You can use it to eject the drive.

Holding F12 will open it. You can also add the eject icon to the menu bar by going into System>Library>Core Services>Menu Extras and double clicking on Eject.menu

To eject a disk just drag the disk you want to eject to the trash

Same goes for servers, USB flash drives or anything else you want to eject: Drag it to the trash!
