Apple: Eject a Stuck CD/DVD from a MacBook


Here are a few methods that you may try to eject the CD/DVD:
1. Launch the Terminal and type the following at the command line:
drutil eject

2. Reboot the MacBook and hold down the mouse/trackpad button as the Mac boots.

3. Turn the MacBook on its side, CD/DVD drive pointing down, and shake, the CD should pop out.

4. If a DVD is completely stuck in the MacBook drive and it’s still spinning, you can also try this trick: get a small piece of thin cardboard (business card or a credit card works fine too) and insert it above the stuck DVD and press down slightly to stop the disk from spinning, now reboot the MacBook while holding down the trackpad button and you should hear the familiar eject sound, then disk should come right out. Be careful not to damage the disk or your drive though!
