Additional Ideas for Ejecting and Preventing Stuck CDs or DVDs
To prevent CDs and DVDs from getting stuck in your Macintosh, clean your discs periodically. Sometimes dirt on the discs can keep your Macintosh from reading them correctly. If a disc is scratched, you may need to get a replacement disc or else it might get jammed in your Macintosh again.
Although stuck CDs and DVDs may be an occasional minor inconvenience, you will generally be able to rely on your Macintosh. However, if you try all of the methods listed in this project and still can't eject your CD/DVD, your CD/DVD drive may have physical problems that will require repairs or a replacement, so take your Macintosh to a repair shop and let the technicians worry about it.
