How to Force Eject a CD/Disc from a Mac. (100% Foolproof. No scratches. No harm)

[Mszigethy]

U ARE MY FUCKING HERO!

[whatabeautifulscene]

Step 1: Hit mute.

[jawilco]

Plan A worked for me, thanks.

[aidasarahi]

I tried copying a DVD that said it's copy in 9 minutes. 5 hours later and it still says "copying about 4 minutes left." My laptop is not turning off because it is coping. It wont let me even pause it. I tried taking out the battery to force my laptop off but unluckily for me the process resumed upon turning my computer back on. What can I do??

[icecoldgraphics]

@aidasarahi you need to go to mac store for that sort of problem

[aidasarahi]

@icecoldgraphics After a lot of trouble I was finally able to take it out, but thank you so much for getting back to me I really appreciate it!!

[rheantot14]

[TrexterFilms]

[irminlean]

[ninjasmurphs98]

OK Anyone who came here thinking that you had to do all that shit

YOUR WRONG

At the top right corner of the keyboard theres an eject button

DO NOT PUT ANYTHING POINTY NEAR YOUR MAC

[djkaneck1]

[alistairbourboulas]

Cheers! Option 2 worked a treat!

[luvSNkids]

Worked flawlessly! :)

[Benxzo]

Excellent tip. For those who have recent macbook pro or who use trackpad, just press with 2 fingers as the machine reboots. It will eject the damn CD. Thanks for saving 8 hours of my life!

[UrbanYouthPro]

Thank you for your help !!!!!!!! I turned it off and held option then eject !! Like magic it worked unlike all the other Jamoches that tried to use terminal codes that failed. Thank you !!!!!!!

[WishfulThinkingArt]

Thanks so much for the advice! Mine worked on the first step! Glad I got that off my mind now!!

[Thetan1974]

What button is the [Option] one?

[BlubberIsNotFun]

...what if your mac won't turn on?

[CaptainObvious227]

literally just save my life. thanks a million!

[jano92262]

[acesmarket3456]

[adrianlee3]

@acesmarket3456 i was young then, now i know. jesus christ.

[josephsinclair]

YES! Thank you! This worked great, had a CD stuck for months and go it out with this method! Cheers!!

[spmack5817]

Thanks man worked for me.....LGCamps from Chicago, IL

[stevenzv7]

thx dude a cd was stuck on my parents imac and they said that it was my fault lucky that I found this vid <3

[tarat0090]

ummm yeah this is too much work.... you can just hold down the spacebar until the disk comes out... you will feel like your holding it down forever (not gonna lie) but the disc will just pop out... works every time <3

[rafaelcrsp07]

YESSSSSSS IT WORKED THANKS



[ScholarMusic]

Are u kidding me????? this was waaaayyyyyy to easy!!!! Now th@'s what I call a quick key...

[FaroZ06]

[CAYOSWING]

Thanks you Very Much...now is working again

[mayaaisabel]

thank you so so much!!!!! worked like a charm :)

[ninnychewy]

[jedthespread]

I need to buy you a beer.......

jed

[HIM1565]

Ur da MAN !!!!! cheers mate :P

[illito44]

thank youuuuuu:)

[zorkura]

...what if it's a small cd that's stuck? o.O

[hellow504jr]

@adrianlee3 imma sound like a total dumbass but where is the "[option] and [eject]" keys if one isnt using a mac keyboard?.. :l

[adrianlee3]

@hellow504jr yeah you're a total dumbass.

[hellow504jr]

@adrianlee3 or you could said option is Alt key and eject is F12 :)

[MultiHendo]

@adrianlee3 hey dumb fuck, not everyone uses a mac keyboard with a mac. what he asked was a fair question. Most of the people you have responded to your shit video were being polite, im sure you don't know what that word means but ill continue, all you seem to have is negative feedback, especially when this video was supposed to help people in the first place. Thanks for the informational video by the way, the shitty music and the negative attitude helped a lot.

[dgs1367]

@MultiHendo Hey MultiHendo how can you put down someone who has gone thru the effort to try and help a world of strangers; even if it doesn't work for everyone. You make yourself look like a douchebag.

[MultiHendo]

@dgs1367 have you seen the way he is responding to people? get the fuck of your high horse shit head, your blocking the sun.

[pwfavox]

@hellow504jr /,,,i got a brand new HP G-7 WITH THE 2nd. gen core i3,THE GOOD ONE IT'S 7-WEEKS OLD AND I GUESS I DID'NT GET THE CD IN RIGHT WHEN I PUSH TO EJECT IT MAKES A LITTLE GROWL'ING SOUND AND WONT EJECT I AM VERRY HANDY AT TAKING APART IF NEEDED HOW DO I GET IT TO OPEN ? AND OR HOW DO I GET IT OUT ? OR DO I NEED TO CALL HP?.,IT'S 7-WEEKS OLD UNDER WARRENTEE AND THE DISC IN IT DONT RATTLE I THINK IT'S SNAPED IN RIGHT.

[weirdowme]

Dude!!! You're BEAST!!!!!! It worked after 10 other failed you tube videos trying to eject the damn CD. Thanks alot.

[jessylotti]

plane A worked!!! yeahhhh thanks you!!!

[Chrisjaldin]

it worked! thanks man a lot. it was getting into my nerves

[daddio507]

Worked. Thx..

[JFlindall]

1) Hold right click while rebooting.

OR

2) Hold option while rebooting; at the start-up disc prompt, hit eject.

How long did it take you to read that? Was it less than a minute? I just saved you that much time.

[TheRoccorules]

Thanks!! fantastic!



[dlarsonmobile]

Awesome works great

[amethystjw]

"Then", not "than"

[Jadiewady]

I've tried like everything and this hilariously easy right click thing worked, thank you so much!!

[macca2707]

Option 2 worked a treat!! Cheers mate, you legend!!

[jb413]

What happens when that doesn't work? I get he kernal panic screen before it will eject.

[puluvsme]

[iiGerardoii]

i know this comment is kinds off-topic

but JUSTIN BIEBER SUCKS DICK

[makkil]

► Very simple, and it REALLY WORKS.

Just hold the touchpad button for One minute, maybe little less!

Dunno why, but it works perfectly!

[davidsdiego]

Plan a worked like a charm! Thank you!

[chelchel510]

helll yes! thank you it finally worked.

[MichiiRo]

PLAN A WORKED ON THE FIRST TRY!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!

[thomassmith1313]

@makkil which is the trackpad button???

[makkil]

@thomassmith1313 Sorry, I wrote wrongly, i'ts the touchpad button! ;)

[ploombass55]

You are a true life saver

[NESHER1972]

THAAAANNKKKKKKSSSSSSSS .... u R GREAT.

[bmenichole]

Ugh thank you so much.

[JonathanMendozaF]

Amazing 1st try I it was stuck there for 3 weeks txs!!!!

[chobbaaz]

Thanks Man, I was about to take my mac to the apple store, but the first step worked, however I think the mac cd drives suck.

With my Pc I never had such an issue.

By the way I am thinking of getting a usb external Cd drive in case I have issues in future, would external usb drives work for system reformats?

[adrianlee3]

@chobbaaz not sure what you're asking

[chobbaaz]

@adrianlee3 Oh, I am wondering if I could reformat my Imac using an External Usb cd drive.

[zabuza836]

@adrianlee3 umm none of them work

[chonlara]

Nice bro! Plan A worked effortlessly! Thanks a lot!

[chonlara]

nice! plan A worked instantly! thanks!

[luisinthemix]

Thank you so very much. you saved my butt.

[BebopDesigner]

Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!! thanks a million! You're a life saver. Thing is that my iMac won't start beyond the gray screen :( Sad eh?

Thanks again

[tristanlyonesse]

Thanks. Seriously. It was driving me nuts trying to figure it out.

[lunafringe10]

But nothing like this ever happened to my 3 mac laptops ever, Just got to be careful to see if the dvd or cd is not warped or otherwise damaged, And the heat the computer generates might also play a role ,

[lunafringe10]

it tried it and it didnt work, i just left my dvd inside and in the cold until next day, switched on my imac and clicked the eject tab and the dvd, which had refused to come out yesterday evening just came out like a dream. no use getting all worked up. Things can happen by themselves, Anyway my magic mouse doesnt have a right click, ctrl + click does nt work

[yeds78]

thank you so much you help me a lot.....thank you thank you....

[funglegunk]

In case anybody has tried the method of holding down the mouse button at boot and it hasn't worked, don't give up after first try. I did this 8 times and it came out on the 8th attempt. 8th times a charm!

[A2CJ4VR]

wow this seems like an ongoing big problem. Ejecting disks from my mac has been an issue from the very beginning. . . think they would do something about it! Paid $50 to get my first one out!

[1ponzell]

Worked perfect!! Thank you!

[aksel3007]

Thanks Alot :)

[ryderjt]

thnx man you rock!!!!!

[HDxCasTpeR]

dude u dont even know how much u saved me thank you

[fenderbenderx]

This really works...I had 1 normal size CD and a mini CD BOTH stuck and this method with right click did work! Thanks man...I was sweating this one!

[xzavify]

wtf is 2+

[xzavify]

IDFK ANYTHING UR SAYING! STOP USING TERMS IDFK HOW BOUT THAT ASSHOLE!!!

[CourtneyLICI0US]

Omg it worked!!! plan A the first time too! thanks so much!!!

[ORDEN71]

Thank God for you. This cd thing has been driving me nuts and now I finally got it out because of you. THANKS =)

[jagaweek]

thx.i loved it...really thx.. =D

[fendergod1969]

U rock!

[streakerdude]

Man, you saved my life. Thanks so much! Ok, I'm exaggerating but I tried everything, disc utilities, pressing certain keys while turning it on, but nothing worked. I was freaking out. Plan A worked right away. How did you figure this stuff out? Apple's suggestions didn't even worked while yours did! You should have a job at Apple if you want it and they should pay you the big bucks! Thanks again!

[Horacle31]

Thank you soo much! Worked like a charm! The simplest was the best solution! Plan A rocks! Tried for hours after multiple avenues and hangings!!!! Will never use a cd again!

[crazykittycat16]

U are so awesome. Thank u so much. I was nervous I was gonna have to haul this huge imac to the store. :-) thanx again

[sidshanti]

Great thanks Adrianlee3, i tried everything from cards to tweezers and nothing worked. Restart right click worked first time. may your life be blessed with an abundance of your most desired vice.

[merien2003]

Thanks so much. After tried to get it out for almost 2 hours, finally your plan B with restart and hold [option] worked! My problem was the computer freeze, I could not restart it at all, it was horrible. But after a while I finally could restart it and did your plan B. Thanks!!

[alanm4072]

[exkiwi]

It WORKED right click all the way

Thank you

[marianflanagan]

THANK YOU!! Been living without a disc drive on my macbook for about 6 months since it was knocked to the floor - stumbled across this, gave the right click a try, and although it didn't eject, the cd registered on the desktop for the first time since the drop, so repeated this and it ejected second time!! I tentatively loaded another disc, and to my delight it plays no problem!! So many, many thanks, mwah xx

[eeekcharger]

Cheers! Right click spam worked for me !

[Cynthia926]

GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL!!

THANK YOU

[RBGHfam]

Another good one, is to launch Itunes. Sounds stupid but it worked for me when the restarting methods didn't.

[KieronDilley1993]
