Hi Alan..


If you haven't already done so.


Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive




Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:




1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.


2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.


3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.


4. Press COMMAND-E.


5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:


/usr/bin/drutil eject



If this fails then try this:


Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.


========================================================================================================


This process worked for someone in Apple Support Communities:


Reboot the computer holding the option key down, wait for the boot drive options to appear, then press the eject key on the keyboard.


When it's out, then select your boot drive and click the arrow key to boot up.

I recently got a disk stuck in my 15yr old minidisk deck.


Couldn't get it out with a screwdriver. Opened it up and tried to dismantle the whole transport assembly. Still no luck.


I ended up prising it apart with a claw hammer. It felt pretty good.

    • Oh dear, Angelina - get ready for the pile-on!
    • I wonder if we haven't been suitably offended - did we miss  a trick in allowing the OP to call her a woman - perhaps the person identifies as gender fluid (or other) and is offended.
    • Would you have jumped down the OP's throat if they'd described the perp as white, 50s, male?  How we morphed from a hurried post about a shop-lifter, to rampant racism, migrants and single mothers, I do not know.  And I thought the thread about hot dogs was hysterical....
    • Yes tell the police..give them a description… what is the case for describing here, it’s irrelevant information. What’s the percentage of people in ED fitting that description. I’m sure the Daily Mail thinks all the irrelevant information about ‘migrants’ , ‘single mothers’  ‘etc etc is ‘fine’. Once on social media it instantly affects what people think and that’s the issue. It matters.    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/27/black-children-arrested-london-more-likely-criminalised-than-white-children
