ejecting a cd

I'm unable to eject a cd from my Mac because the cd is not showing on the desktop, so I'm unable to drag it to the trash. Also, I do not see an ejection button. In the Finder sidebar, the CD is not listed.

Can't Eject CD on Mac OS 9.2 (iMac Bondi Blue) Hi I have a problem on my old iMac. Yesterday evening i've inserted a CD audio in the tray to listen music. The Cd is not played and I can't eject it. The Fn key F12 is not ejecting the CD (When pressing F12 I have the window opened to map all the keys). I do not have the Apple Eject Extra Folder in Mac OS 9. Are there third party apps I could use to force the eject of my CD. Thanks for your help Laurent

My USB SuperDrive does not accept to eject a CD My USB SuperDrive does not accept to eject a cd that it cannot mount (thus invisible on the desktop) I tried several actions without success: 1) eject via disk utility. In that case, I must wait several minutes before SuperDrive is visible. Impossible to eject the CD by clicking in disk utility (neither on the left bar nor in the menu). I can see the title of the cd in disk utility ! That's all. 2) eject by reboot + mouse click. Any possibility to eject it mechanically or find a magical trick ? SuperDrive was working fine a few minutes ago as I was replaying CDs and DVDs to check their contents against the label... The last one had no label... Thanks for Help

Restart you Mac:

Once restarted, see if it then shows up, and if you can eject it.

On some Macs, holding down the trackpad while the laptop boots up will force the disc to eject.
