Answer 1

From Apple website

I can't eject my CD or DVD

If a disc in your computer's optical drive refuses to leave, try these steps to eject the disc.

1. Restart your computer: From the Apple menu, choose Restart.
2. When you hear the startup sound, immediately hold down your mouse button until your computer starts up and ejects the disc.

If that doesn't work, try this:

1. Restart your computer: From the Apple menu, choose Restart.
2. When you hear the startup sound, immediately hold down the X key until your computer starts up.
3. Open iTunes or DVD Player (both are in the Applications folder).
4. Click the Eject button in either of these applications.

If that still didn't eject the disc, try this:

1. Restart your computer: From the Apple menu, choose Restart.
2. When you hear the startup sound, immediately hold down the Command, Option, O, and F keys together until you see a text-only screen—this is the Open Firmware screen.
3. At the prompt, type eject cd and press Return.
4. Then type mac-boot and press Return to start up your computer in Mac OS X.

If the disc still does not eject, contact Apple to arrange for service.

Answer 2

There is an eject key, usually on the upper right of the keyboard. You can also drag the image of the CD to the trash. Or, highlight the CD and see what the menus show you, such as the Info menu.

Answer 3

There is the f12 key or just drag the cd to the trash can on the desk top.

At least this can be done on an iBook.

Answer 4

there is a manual button on the front of the drive. if you look you will see a little hole, get a paper clip and insert it into the hole it will open the drive tray so you can get the disk out

Answer 5

Answer 6

there should be a small button behind the slot, if you can press it with something like a nail file then it should come out. do that when the computer is on.
