MacBook Pro :: How To Eject A 10.6.3 That Will Not Come Out
Apr 7, 2012
I have an A1229 late 2007 2.4 or 2.6 Core 2 Duo 4GB 150GB 17" (my 10.5.8 won't boot past the grey apple screen - it shuts down) and I am trying to install 10.6.3. After a dozen false starts where the disc was spit out after 10 minutes, uninstalled, It accepted about 20% of the install and then stopped, shutting down. I tried repairing the HD using DU but it told me to reformat the HD. My 10.6.3 disc is still is the machine and the installation start loads and I can't get the disc out?

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.

My brothers friend's iMac won't eject the disc. It locked up the computer and now it won't boot. They have tried holding down the mouse on start up but with no luck. Any thoughts?

i've had a Macbook for a couple years and I have some knowledge of OS X but this one has stumped me.My friend called me tonight and she told me on her new iMac that in the finder window, after clicking on Macintosh HD, the eject button was missing that should be next to the device.This apparently happened earlier today with a CD and happened when she called me with an External HDD.
She was however able to eject the stuff by either dragging it to the trash or doing "Open Apple" + E, key shortcut. I'm stumped on this because she was till able to eject the HDD or CD with the previous methods but the Finder, "eject" button for the devices was missing.

I turned it off for an hour to cool down and try again but it still won't work.It's making the eject noise but the DVD doesn't come out, and it just seems to restart the film again as though I've put in a new DVD.

I was burning a DVD and left while it did its thing. When I came back it said your disk is complete. I ejected the disk, no problem. When I put it back in the machine to test it just continued to spin. Tried to eject, nothing, restarted, nothing. I've tried everything except the external drive. I've tried the mouse, F12, USB mouse, safe boot, etc... Is there an eject hole on the macbooks? The credit bit freaks me out. I'd rather take it apart.

I've been accustomed to pressing the volume up button as the second to last key in the top row, but with the new MBA, there is an eject button replacing it. Why is there even an eject button if there is no built in CD Drive. Yes, some ppl use the superdrive, but i dont see how the rest of us need that button. Apple is trying to emphasize the lack of importance of the CD Drive itself, so why are they still adding this nonessential key?

The eject functionality seems to be completely broken on my system. the button doesn't work, dragging to trash doesn't work, clicking eject in finder doesn't work. None of them give errors or anything. Everything from usb drives to virtual cds to app archives just dont unmount/eject. Has anyone experienced this before?

I've tried all the methods. I have a 2+ year old Macbook Pro. The drive was a bit bowed down, but a screw drive forcing the casing back up fixed that. I have tried holding down the eject button on restart as well as the mouse. I tried the command-control-p-o combo and it wouldn't boot into the open firmware.
The laptop keeps trying to read the disk, but the disk is apparently unreadable. So what the hell am I to do? I can't even get into Mac OS X or use the laptop.

I just got a new CD-ROM to help me learn sign language. I put in the first CD and to access certain material I have to insert another CD. I can't eject the first one when the window is up on the screen. When I do eject it the window closes and the second disc doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated. There HAS to be a way to override this. I just want to be able to eject the first disc without having to quit everything.

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.

My wife has a PB G4 15". No matter what kind of disc is put in the drive, it gets spit out about 3 seconds later. Also, we have a 120 GB external HD that works just fine with our eMac, but no joy with the PB.

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.)

I don't know if this is normal. However I have the mid-2009 uMBP, and the eject button on my keyboard doesn't eject the DVD or the eject an external device, even if i select the item on my desktop first.
Is this normal?
