IMac (Intel) :: Can't Eject Disc - One Or More Programs Using It

Aug 24, 2014

I copied a folder of photographs to my desktop from a disc. Now when I try to eject the disc I get a message that this can't be done because one or more programmes may be using it. I've also tried dragging the icon to trash but that fails as well. 

What programme could be using the disc and am reluctant to  force eject the disc at the moment as there is also a message that doing so could damage the contents and the disc belongs to my daughter and contains professionally shot images of my granddaughter.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

IMac :: Blank DVD CDs Eject From IMac - Can't Burn To Disc?

Sep 20, 2008

When I try inserting blank (brand-new) CD+ or CD- and DVD+ or DVD- discs, the slot-drive seems to accept the disc just fine. But then. I hear 2 short "whirrs", nothing for about 10 seconds, 2 short "whirrs", nothing for about 10 seconds, 2 short "whirrs", then the disc is ejected.I have experimented w/different discs & get the same results each time: drive accepts the disc for about 30 seconds, never mounts it on desktop, then ejects it.

OS X :: Cannot Eject Windows Disc From IMac Even Hitting Command Option + O + F?

Dec 8, 2009

Got a new 27" iMac recently and am trying to set up Boot Camp. I partitioned the HD and then installed Windows XP. The installation went smoothly, and then the computer restarted. Only problem is the Windows XP system disc is still in the CD drive. Now the computer wants to boot from the CD and can't. I get a message that says, "Press any key to boot from CD. Disk error Press any key to restart", and I have no way to eject the disc. (There is no pin hole next to the CD slot that I can put a paperclip in to force it out.) I've tried restarting and then hitting Command + Option + O + F (found that advice at Apple's site). No joy. Apple support is closed for about the next three hours

IMac (Intel) :: Played Disk In ITunes But Then Could Not Get It To Eject?

Jun 5, 2014

My husband (who has my old iMac) inserted a CD that a friend gave him into his disk drive. He played the disk in iTunes, but then could not get it to eject. I came over to "help" and after clicking the eject button in ITunes and then holdiing the eject button on the keyboard down for some time, the drive is stuck in kind of a loop trying to eject the CD.  Here are the things that we have tried: 

restarting the iMac

shutting it down and rebooting after waiting a while

shutting it down and unplugging it. Waiting for a while and then plugging it back in and rebooting

rebooting while holding the eject button down (on keyboard)

resetting the PRAM by holding down option-command-p-r while booting

drutil eject -drive internal in Terminal Mode

IMac :: Intel IMac Cannot Manage To Remove A Linux Boot Disc From The Optical Drive

Nov 1, 2009

I'm using a 20" white intel iMac and cannot manage to remove a linux boot disc from the optical drive.At first, the only way that i managed to boot to the linux disc in the first place was from the Startup Disk menu in OSX. I could not even get to the Startup Manager ('opt' at boot) or boot straight to the disc ('C').Now i'm in a position where no matter what i do, the system boots to the linux disc. I cannot even force the startup into OSX to try to eject the disc from there. I've tried holding all of these keys/combinations at startup

MacBook :: How Can I Eject A Disc That Is In Use, Like A CD-ROM

Mar 30, 2010

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.

PowerPC :: Powerbook G4: Can't Eject Disc

Apr 7, 2009

I loaded a CD-Rom with some pictures from our kids photo session and it never showed up on the desktop. Now I try to use the eject button and nothing happens. Is there a way to "Force eject" or some equivalent? Odd thing is that when I open iDVD it says that my computer is not equipped with a superdrive. So it sounds as though my drive is not working.

OS X V10.4 :: Why Does Install Disc Eject Instead Of Mount

Feb 11, 2012

My G4 tower has needed occasional disc utility repairs but this time there's something strange.The disc won't mount, instead after the normal time for the disc to mount, the disc is ejected.  I've restarted the computer while the disc was being read, and held down the "c" key, and the computer ends up with a question mark folder flashing on the screen. I can put the disc into my G4 laptop and read it fine.  It also looks to have no marks or scratches.  The G4 tower can read other discs including the OS9 install and repair disc.  There is OS9 installed in the tower and not on the laptop.

Info:
G4 Quicksilver Tower, Mac OS 9.2.x, MOTU PCI interface card installed.

MacBook Pro :: Unreadable Disc Won't Eject?

May 12, 2012

Really annoyed with the fact that this disc is proving difficult to eject. The laptop is not reading the dvd, therefore the usuall methods of ejecting a disc hasn't worked, e.g. pressing the eject button and moving the disc icon to the trash. I have tried the disk utilty application as well, still, the laptop does not recognise that there is a disc inserted! 

I have tried other methods that I have read including reebooting and holding the trackpad, repeating that process with a credit card and also that didn't work. The laptop does make an effort to eject the dvd, as the ussual nioses are made, although the sound made don't sound too good. I also tried the terminal programme which resulted in the same noises but the dvd still remains stuck. 

One thing I havent tried is to take it to a store or specialist but I would like to try remove it myself first as going to a store is a hassle!!! is there any other way that i havent tried
