Before I just had to click on the eject icon at the top of the screen but it only says super drive in light grey. How do I get a disc to eject?

After a couple times of doing this it would eject the disc, so I figured I would try another disc, I have tried many different discs such as games, cds, programs and nothing has worked.

I have a 6 month old iMac (bought Dec 2011). It has 10.6.8 with all patches. It began to randomly shut down and got stuck in the reboot loop (sometimes, the problem was a reawakening after sleep, but even a simple shutdown/restart wouldnt guarantee correct behavior).
I did the Apple Hardware Test (it reported - no troubles found), reset the SMC, PRAM - all to no avail.
Finally, i reinstalled the OS from the DVD that came along with the iMac. Left it for a few hours to download the "jumbo" patch from apple site, and now it is back to behaving the same way - it is stuck in a reboot loop! I dont know if it installed the patch or not, as soon as i touched any key to wake up the iMac, it rebooted (like before). And now I gotta try the boot process like 15 times and it may boot correctly. Safe Mode boot is also not guaranteed to work. It shows the sliding bar and then back to reboot!
If it were a software issue, the reinstall of the OS should have fixed that? If it were a hardware issue, the AHT should have caught that? Am I stuck with a lemon? Just one of those bad pieces that are inevitable in any assembly line production?

My iMac won't read my SD card. Once I ejected the card it stopped reading SD cards. I updated my system and it read the card, but then once I ejected it it stopped reading cards again.

I have noticed a lot of disk activity reading and writing, it maxes out in bursts up to a couple of minutes at a time and overall seams to be reading and writing a lot of the time, with no processor activity at all. There is no obvious culprits in the activity monitor but terminal displayed large number of read and writes for mds, but spot light is not indexing (no dot in Mag glass) and this has been happening from months now.
Possibly longer noticed it when recieved replacement drive due to crook seagate, may have been doing this but could not hear it. Running last Snow Leopard on iMac 27 mid 2011 i7 custom with 8 gb of ram. also should note this unit has had load of issues Bad Ram, some software problems would not sleep (software) none of which have ever manifested on any of my other (older) macs. Also have noted that this drive activity does seem to coincide with using safari on occasion??

I was in the middle of ripping a series of CDs in iTunes when the drive suddenly stopped reading the CDs' contents - I have tried several CDs, including re-trying ones I had already ripped. It does not get beyond track list. Do I need a new drive or can I solve it? I have also tried using a CD cleaning disc. 3 years old iMac with Mavericks installed, no previous problems. It still reads disc title and content list and loads / ejects correctly.

I have just recently bought the Mid 2011 IMac. I put in a DVD disc into the side slot, and my IMac did not even recognize that it was in there. Now it is stuck in the slot and won't come out. I have tried the Eject button on ITunes, and the Disk Utility Eject won't work since it does not recognize that there is a disc in there. I can't drag the disc to the trash can either because it doesn't show up on my Desktop. Also, the Terminal Eject won't work either.

I rarely use my superdrive, so I thought it might be more practical to have the button eject my external hard drive(s). Is there a way to do this through OS X or a third party app?
I've been having problem with either Firefox or Safari and I download something and the dmg extracts and I'm left with the white casing shell where the app is housed and it won't eject. I can't eject it from finder but dumping it to the trash from finder took it off the sidebar. I can't get them off my desktop unless I restart my Mac.
I've noticed now that along with disk images not mounting for me anymore. My external drive images or DVD's won't eject either.
When I use right click with Mighty Mouse I don't even see an option anymore to eject that image. Is there any solution out there to fix this glitch? The work around I'm using is unmounting or ejecting images or disks from Disk Utility.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it? I'm using Leopard 10.5.2 and am on an intel iMac.
