I was transferring songs from a CD to my iPod. Now the cd is stuck. How can I eject the CD from my mac?

Question

I have tried clicking on the eject key several times. I also can't seem to launch my Finder.

Answer 1

take it back to the store, have them take it apart, then trade it in for a real computer.

Answer 2

Try restarting the mac and then try to eject again. If that doesn't help, see if there is a small pin-sized hole next to where you insert disks. It'll be right next to it. This is the manual ejection method - get something narrow enough - like a straightened paper clip - and stick it into the hole - that should eject the CD. The hole should be just big enough for the paperclip and not much else.

If that's not there, then I suggest asking on a more technical mac forum.

Answer 3

If I understand correctly, you are trying to remove a stuck CD from the drive. If the light has stopped flashing that your drive is active and you still cannot remove your CD, there is usually a tiny pin-size hole on the CD drive that you can push a small pointed object (unbent paperclip is very popular) into to manually open your drive bay. If your green light is still flashing, you will need to stop the disk/drive from running (trying shutting down your computer worst case scenario) before attempting this manouver in order to avoid damaging your drive, CD.

Answer 4

No The CD is your materials then you pass it on your pc that's transfered on your Ipod now it very rather unlawful to pass one in each of your friends songs on your ipod or pc from there CDs yet noones gona bust you for it

Answer 5

There should be a little teeny hole somewhere under the tray. That's an emergency manual eject, just stick a paper clip or something in the hole and pull the tray out.

Answer 6

There should be a small hole on the front of your CD drive. If you have one, you can insert the end of a paperclip into the hole and the CD latch should release.

Answer 7

Did you try a hammer yet?
