HELP! MacBook Pro DVD stuck!?
20.October, 2009
I have a macbook pro through my school and I was watching a dvd in it and apparently it started running some kind of duplication to my desktop, but I tried to stop the duplication and it will not stop and I can’t eject the dvd or shut my computer down! HELP!
I found out how to eject the cd by going to a bunch of mac forums! You just have to click option-command/apple-escape and tell the computer to relaunch the finder! AMAZING! I was soooo happy!
There should be a little hole, either under the dvd drawer or somewhere in the vicinity.
Use the end of a paper clip or something similar to stick in the hole, this usually releases the drawer.
EDIT.
Glad you managed it ok, I`d be interested to know if you get the little hole on a mac, the same as a pc.
It`s very tiny, when the same happened to me I was on the phone to tech support but couldn`t find the hole they were talking about, but managed to find it later and ejected the cd.

Try dragging the disc icon down to the Trash can.

Try holding the eject button (near f12)
