Mac Pro :: How Does The Second Drive Open?
Mar 10, 2009
on the Mac Pro there is no eject button. You have to use the eject key on the keyboard.
I'm fine with this. However, when there is 2 optical drives in the Mac Pro, how does the second drive open?

does anyone know how to open the DVD drive manually. It won't open if I hold down the mouse button when I turn it on. I had problems trying to install XP in Boot Camp and had to turn off the machine. Now the windows disc is stuck inside that wants to install windows each time I turn it on. It is no good holding down the options key either.

I have a Mac Pro that's kernel panicking upon boot. I was going to try seeing if I could repair it before just reinstalling the OS, but I can't get the DVD drive to open. I have a Logitech Wave keyboard, but pressing the eject key combo isn't working (presumably since drivers for it aren't loaded).

I have just rebuilt a G4 MDD. Works great, except for one thing.I cannot get the Cd drive to open!!
Pressing the eject button on the kyb doesnt do it. The eject button on the actual drive is covered by the plastic tab of the mirror metal.
The new Itunes doesnt have an eject button that I can see, either.I dont see any "eject disk" button in any of the utilities.

Pressing the Eject key on the keyboard does not open the DVD tray. Usually the Eject symbol appears briefly on the screen and then the tray will extend. But, this is not working at all. I've reset the PRAM, but still the problem persists.
Going to About this Mac shows that the system "sees" the DVD drive, I just can't the the tray to extend. There is no DVD or CD in the drive at this time.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I'm having a problem getting my CD drive door to open (the CD drive was empty when the problem started). Have tried pushing and holding down keyboard eject key, holding down mouse key while restarting, and typing "eject cd" in open format. When I do these things, the drive repeatedly makes a sort of "grunt" (effort noise) but doesn't pop open, so this appears to be a mechanical problem. I removed the drive faceplate and was finally able to open the drive by pushing the manual eject button and pulling on the tray, though it requires some finagling and doesn't always work. When the tray does open this way, it does not automatically roll all the way out or back in, but has to be pulled/pushed, and once it shuts, it once more can't open without manual intervention. However, I discovered that as long as there's a CD in the tray, it opens and closes fine. While always keeping a CD in the drive is a temporary fix.

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 just transfered all my files from Iomega Zip drivers to Mac compatible HP Flash drive. Now I can't open any of those files on HP Flash drive. Some of the files have even disappeared. Is there something I'm suppose to do with Flash drive to open files. If I can't open any of my files on HP Flash drive, is there any program I can purchase to retrieve files on Zip Drive?

I think my problem started after partitioned my MacBook's hard drive. The thing is that when i click some apps (Skype, VLC etc.) they show up in the dock, but they just keep on bouncing, and when they stop bouncing after a minute it says "Application is not responding".

I retrofitted a Toshiba dvd/cdrw 2512 in my indigo ibook, following instructions found online. Opens fine with f12 key, and drilled hole for paperclip eject if need. Plays dvds and burns cds great (patchburn installed to burn from itunes too). But, the drive also opens when the ibook is turned on and when it comes out of sleep. Is this a glitch that can be fixed. Not a big deal but would like to have it not open if possible.

I have a regular USB keyboard, not a mac one, so is there a button I can press to open my CD drive? I clicked F1-12 and nothing. Airport extreme card - Ive been reading posts on forums about the eMac and they said the regular Airport card isn't made anymore but the extreme is. Naturally, I was hoping my mac would require the latter so I could easily run out and buy one at an apple store. Unfortunately I found out they don't make the airport extreme anymore either. It's available on amazon and ebay, I know. BUT....does anyone know anything else I can use besides the airport extreme? I want to get hooked up to the internet before Monday so I can use AIM in my room and do some work over the weekend. Anything that I could find at Best Buy or some other store? Or even any alternative ways of getting the internet to work wirelessly (even just temporarily while I wait for the card to come in)? I've been googling a lot but google always want to change my "emac" to "imac" .

I have a mechanical fault with my combo drive (cdrw/dvd) in my Powerbook 12" 1.5 GHz running Leopard which makes it noisy even when there is no disk in there. Is it possible to disable the device by removing it from the device tree in Open Firmware before OS X boots? It sounds like the drive is checking for a disk. I am sure there is not a disk in there as it still accepts and ejects other disks. If it were to be removed from the device tree would this likely solve the problem, or would the power cable to the drive have to be physically disconnected?

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.
