Mac Pro :: CD Tray Won't Eject With Sony Drive?
Mar 19, 2009
I've searched the forums pretty thoroughly, but no one has listed these exact symptoms.
I've got a PowerPC G5 running 10.4. After four years of dedicated service, my Superdrive gave out, so I bought a Sony drive (SONY DVD RW DRU-842A in profiler) to replace it.
Here's the trouble:
Any time the machine goes to sleep with a disc in the drive, it won't eject when I wake it up. I have to restart, then eject. Other than that, the drive works beautifully. If this question has been answered elsewhere, please redirect me there, sorry for the repost.
Speaking of sleep, when I put the machine to sleep through the menu it goes fully to sleep (no fan/other noise). But when it goes to sleep on its own, I can still hear the machine churning away. My roomate has a newer Mac Pro that doesn't do this.

I use a G5 Powermac at work that is hooked to a KVM switch that seems to render the eject key inoperable. Is there another way to open the drive tray so I don't have to unplug the KVM switch and hook the keyboard directly to the mac every time I need to insert a CD?

I replaced a defective DVD drive with a new Pioneer super drive in a Mac Pro G5 which meant I had to manually pull out the tray and remove the bezel on the front of the tray so the tray will pass through the mirror door cavity.
After I pushed the tray back into the drive to install the drive in the G5 I somehow managed to jam something because the tray will not open at all now. The motor attempts to open the tray and pressing the little manual tray release (paper clip through the pin hole) doesn't work either.

When I Put A 20X Sony Lightscribe� Drive In The Secondary Optical Bay I Attached The Power And The IDE, I Checked To See If The Drives Were Initialized They Were Not Even Recognized.....The New Sony As Well As The Apple Stock Drive In The First Bay It Was Like I had Removed Both Of Them! I Then Took Out The Apple Stock Optical And Put The New Sony Lightscribe Drive In Its Place, Leaving Only The One New Sony Drive In The Pro, It Was Recognized By The System However Would Not Open Due To The Fact That The Opening On The Mac Was To Small For The Shelf Of The Drive To Open. It Was Blocked! WTF!
I Instantly Thought I Must Have Messed Up The Install, However I Thoroughly Checked It Over And There Is Really No Way For Me To Mess It Up. Due To Where The Screws Line Up. It's Not Possible To Screw Up! No Pun intended. So Whats Left Now? I Thought These Optical Drives Where Like Internal Hard Drives, USB's And Blank Disks...They Have Standard Dimensions For ALL CPU"S I Did not know that there are incompatible optical drives! Does Anyone Know A: What Drives Are Compatible With The Xeon Mac Pro?

after I get a bad burn (it's very rare, but it does happen), I get a stuck DVD. I can't open the DVD tray unless I either restart the computer or wait a &$?# long time before it gets done trying to read an unreadable DVD. Even the terminal won't allow me to open it. Is there a way to get the DVD tray opened "immediately"? Sucks to think that we don't have control over that.

Last weekend I watched a movie I rented on my macbook and after I was done it kept trying to eject the DVD and now I keep getting the ejection sound and it wont keep CD/DVDs in how can I fix it.Also I got a MacBook Aluminum on October 15, 2009 and I got an eMail saying that I registered an iPod Touch and I want to install AppleCare Protection thing that came with it but it says that my serial code is not accepted or something like that should I take my computer to the Apple store (or could I take it to Best Buy I feel more comftorble there) to be able to install it.

Every time I used a USB drive, I am told that it can't be ejected because a program is using it. Sometimes it says the finder is using it (it shouldn't be: if the finder is using it it is only listing it as a drive). Relaunching the finder using "force quit" doesn't work: it just changes the message to "one or more programs may be using it". Shutting down every single program - none of which are using it anyway. I eventually get a force eject option, which I use, though that comes with a warning that force eject may damage files.
Running Yosemite on a late 2010 Air (though I get the same problem on my 2011 Macbook pro).

Are there any specifics I should know about the second drive bay? I'm planning on buying just a really fast CD-ROM drive to put in there - can I get any ole' one? I noticed that the Apple drive does not have a faceplate - does this mean I have to remove the faceplate from whatever drive I get? Are there drives available that already have no faceplate?
I never used Mac OS X with more than one optical drive - how does opening a drive work? Does the eject button open both drives? One at a time?

Supposedly, the external is in use and cannot be ejected, but i don't think it's in use. I've only recently been encountering this problem, and i have no idea why. I've tried quitting every application, but it still claims to be in use.

I just got an external LaCie DVD burner (long story). It works great, but as of right now I can apparently only eject it by right-click > eject or drag it to the "trash." Is there any way to allow me to just use the button on the drive or tie it to the eject button on the keyboard when it's connected, or even another key command like Opt-Eject?

I have a MacBook with a storage drive connected via firewire. All was fine but now suddenly it won't show the contents of the folders and it won't eject. I tried dragging it to the trash, and I also tried the eject arrow in the list of drives. I tried to open Disk Utility, but it just spins. I also tried to throw something else away in the trash, and the trash folder will not take it.
Normally if something like this happened, I would just restart and hope it rights itself, but I don't know if I can do that with a storage drive still attached. (On another occasion, the storage drive got pulled out improperly and luckily I was able to repair it with Disk Utility.)

As a new IMac user (24 hours) I decided to copy my entire CD collection on to my computer. I now have a CD that is stuck in my IMac. It doesn't read/display at all, nor will it eject when I select this option from ITunes. Is there a way to manually eject the disc or another way that I may not be familiar with given my lack of apple experience? I have over 500 CDs to copy and I have only done 10 or so when this occurred.

My MacBook Pro has had trouble burning DVDs and I noticed that there is a virtual DVD drive. How do I get rid of it? It's not on my desktop, but it messes up Toast and iDVD. Here is a screenshot of Disk Utility.

When I go into Itunes, I cannot eject drive.
When I look at Toast settings, it says that there's no recorder.
When I press eject on the keyboard, it doesn't.
But when I press alt, command ... I and O (on restart) it opens.
If I need to reinstall the DVD driver, how do I do this please? (Because I inherited this Mac from my previous company; and don't have any software cds).

I have a portable drive that I plugged into my imac (2010, OS 10.6.8) and as it was starting up and being found by the imac, the usb cable slipped out so the drive was not properly dismounted, but a file remained on my desktop. I cannot delete or eject this 0Kb file. I tried to rename the file and got an error code -8058. I cannot move the file.
fyi, I replugged in the portable drive and it shows up separately (I've since renamed it) and works fine.When I eject it, the other file still remains.

I have a 1T Western Digital Auxiliary disk drive, and back up my system about every ten days. When complete I go to Finder and select the eject icon next to the drive. The light changes on the drive, and the eject icon disappears, which I interpret to mean the ejection is complete--but when I disconnect the cable, I get a scolding message from OS X saying the device was not properly ejected.
