Anyone know a way to get a disk out of a MacBook Pro

[Alan Medic]

I've tried various ways I got from the internet but nothing has worked yet. Anyone had success in doing this and if so how did you do it? Thanks in advance.

[mynamehere]

find it in finder and the you'll have the option of ejecting it

I assume Alan means it's stuck...

[Alan Medic]

Yep.........I did. Thanks.

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.

Turn open Macbook,

Turn Macbook upside down,

Hit eject key.

Worked 2 months ago on a Macbook Pro that had a DVD stuck in drive.

The advice by dulwichfox is very good the usual method is to restart while holding down the eject button suggested this just yesterday to forumite with success

Thanks for the advice particularly to Fox, whose last option worked with a bit of help from another tip I'd read somewhere.

Having done a bit of Googling on the subject, I was suprised to find

that so many people have had this problem...

I do not have a Mac myself. Never had any probs like this with Windows ....

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.
