Ejecting a stuck disc from Mac SuperDrive

 

The standard stuff

When a disc won’t eject from your Mac, try the following:
1.) Press and hold the Eject key,
2.) Right-click on the disc icon on the Desktop and select “Eject” from the menu,
3.) Drag the disc icon to the Trash.

Disk Utility

Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select the troublesome CD or DVD in the sidebar. Click the Eject button at the top of the window.

Terminal command

Launch Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy the following command: drutil eject

Mouse/Trackpad button

Restart your Mac and hold down the trackpad button as it boots up. Keep pressing it until the login screen or desktop displays.

The self-fixing Mac

Shut down your Mac, turn it back on, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Make sure the power cord is plugged in as you do this and the disc just might pop out on its own.
