  • omg dude you're awesome. I almost tried the bent card fishing technique. drutil tray eject muthafucka

  • @wuwindz hahahahahahaha

  • Didn't work for me.. A disc has been stuck in my iMac almost 2 months so far. I live far from any city, and am new to the mac.. It doesn't read the disc, and it doesn't even show up in finder or Disk Utilities.. I've found other "how eject CDs from an iMac" but the solutions don't seem to work.

    Even if I attempt to burn a CD, it says "Disc burner or software not found" I've looked through many articles, and many forums..yet no solutions work for me. I have an Intel iMac7,1 . Please help.

  • It's probably a hardware issue. Take it in to the apple store.
