First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the
Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the
CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes
allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse
button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse
button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has
appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT
DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes
even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-
hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a
straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray,
and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter
the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and
press return. The disk ought to eject. To start into OS X, type "mac-
boot" without the quotes. Press return, and the computer will
continue with the startup. (This will not work on an Intel Mac. There
is no Open Firmware on Intel Macs. )
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the
computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection
screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's
eject button.
