'Sometimes sometimes encounter a situation when in one "beautiful" moment inserted CD or DVD disk does not want to get out. By examining a little this question, found the most likely physical cause of such a phenomenon. As service workers involve: protective gum is too tightly to each other. Now I will give all known to me software Disk extraction methods, that is, without physical intervention. They will use you if the disk does not want to get out only because of the software troubleshooting. Articles about another reason - disk rested into the housing / protective gum, because uneven or damaged - most likely I will not write. The network is full of material, including photos and video reports.

Extraction methods using the "keyboard" manipulations, I divided into several: the fastest for beginners and methods that more experienced users enjoy.

First that you need to try

Mac OS X capabilities

  • If the disk removal button did not help hold It is longer, until this image appears on the screen:
  • Extraction icon in the side panel Finder. Near each connected disk / volume, on the right there is an extraction icon. Pressing it will lead to the output of the disc.
  • Highlight the disk in the sidebar, press Command + E..
  • Context disk menu in the same sidebar or icon on the desktop. From it, select Extract "Disc Name".
  • Try dragging the disk icon to the basket (if you are in Dock).
  • Restarting can also solve the problem

Mac OS X Programs

  • The disk utility that will help remove the disk, even if it does not see the Finder.

  • also has a function to remove the disk from the Management menu

  • Check your programs that you use when watching / listening to files from CD or DVD. There is a possibility that they have a function of extracting a disc.

Third-party programs

There are utility programs created specifically to extract stuck discs or volumes, and there are programs that work with disks. The first category refers to the name Eject Mounted Volumes. I placed his icon at the beginning of the article, because it best conveys the meaning.

Programs working with disks (recording, copying), as a rule, have an extraction function. I know exactly what is in.

For experienced users

Options for terminal

  • drutil Eject
  • hDITIL Eject -Force "/ Volumes / disk name"
  • diskutil eject / volumes / disk name

I am not strong in -NIX systems, so if you have something to correct or add, I will be grateful.

Different loading modes

  • Loading a computer with holding the right mouse button or Trekpad. After downloading, the disk should get out.
  • Loading in Open Firmware with holding Command + Alt + O + F. After welcoming, enter the EJECT CD, press Enter and wait a few seconds. As soon as the disk gets out and opposite the command will appear OK, enter the mac-boot. After the key, the input will continue to load the computer.

As an option

If you have another or more operating systems on your computer, try to pull the disk through them.

If all this did not bring the result - two outputs remain: contact service center Or external interference with girlfriend tools. The second option is the most extreme, suitable only when the service center is not available to you. Well, or you are an apple service center worker.

Remember: All you do with your computer - on your conscience. It is not necessary to poke suspicious, damaged or low-quality discs, and then, who knows how and what to get them.

Sometimes it happens that MacBook owners face a problem: a DVD or CD disc is stuck in a laptop. Unlike users personal computer, Macbook owners cannot remove the disc in the usual way (in the case of a PC, you can insert a needle into a special hole in the drive, the mechanism will work and the drive will open), because the drives with a slot load do not have physical buttons. So what to do if the disk stuck on the laptop?

Remove DVD or CD from MacBook - Step-by-step instructions for users

These ways will necessarily help you get the stuck drive. They are also suitable for those who simply do not know how to get a disc from a laptop on Mac OS X:

  • The first and most obvious way out of the position is to transfer the disk icons from the desktop to the icon in the dock. You can also select the "Extract" option from the general menu.
  • If on your Apple laptop is present on the keyboard the EJECT button, then restart your macup, while holding the alt key. When the CD and DVD selection screen appears, we need to press the Alt key, and then immediately click on the EJECT.
  • If you activated the virtual machine (for example, this is a VMFusion program), then make sure the drive is disabled in the virtual machine. It happens that after that the disk appears inside operating system.
  • If the disc fails to get in the usual way, we recommend downloading the toast titanium application and find the item "get a disk".
  • Sometimes a simple "Extract" command directly in iTunes is helped, even when the drive is not displayed intra of Finder.
  • Download any specialized utility, and then select the drive in the left pane in the left pane and press the corresponding button to retrieve.
  • Some macquakes have special holes that help solve this problem with a simple stationery clip or needle, just like in a PC on Windows.
  • Run the terminal and in the window that opens the following words "Drutil Tray Eject". This command activates the drive. Accordingly, entering the Drutil Tray Close command will close the drive.
  • You can use a simple and proven way, which solves almost all problems - reboot. Reload Your MacBook by holding Combination Command + Option + O + F to activate the Open Firmware string. There We will drive "Eject CD" without quotes and click on the label RETURN (reset). After that, the computer must pull the disk itself. To start the operating system, take the "Mac-Boot" line again without quotes. Then click on the RETURN button again. Everything, the laptop began to reboot (it does not work if you are the owner of the Intel Mac).

We hope you have it to solve the problem and pull out the stuck CD or DVD. If all these methods did not give results, then you need to carry the computer to the service center - it means the problem is in the gland.

After opening the Welcome to Open Firmware window, release the keys and enter the EJECT CD command and press RETURN. It is assumed that after that the disk will be available to extract, and the OK system will appear on the entered command. To continue the normal download, enter Mac Boot and press the RETURN key (for computers with the MAC operating system.

In the absence of the desired result, find a small round hole with a diameter of 1.0-1.5 mm on the front side of the actuator. Insert a needle at him at right angles and push. When you get to the CD-ROM, the disk will open.
