Alex, Yay! Very happy you were able to get the CD out. That's good news also glad your library isn't as insane as I had thought : smile : Sometimes walking away and cooling off and regrouping is the best thing to do. Best Wishes Jenny On 7/9/09, Alex Jurgensen wrote: > > Hi, > > It is $40 a CD f

Hi, It is $40 a CD for a 5 disk set because the other four would have useless without #1. But Anywho, It is out. shaking the MBP seems to have done it after all, putting it down and walking away from it was one of the best things to do at the moment. Yay, Alex, On 8-Jul-09, at 11:57 PM,

Alex, Everyone has already suggested what I was going to suggest. I was going to say put something on the end of the tweezers so they don't scratch the CD but that would make the whole point of using them in the first place kind of dumb. No offence, but that library sounds crazy! 200 dollars? Yik

Try grabbing the CD as it is ejected with a pair of tweezers. SOmetimes you can even angle the machine, which sometimes helps. Good luck, I think with a little patients, you can snag and extract it. On Jul 8, 2009, at 3:21 AM, ben mustill-rose wrote: > > I think this is going to be more of a ha

At the end of the day, somethings probably going to end up broken at the end of it, even if it gets serviced by a company. $200 is much cheaper than any mbp, so i'd just forget about preserving the disk - although I wouldn't ever pay them the $200. On 08/07/2009, Alex Jurgensen wrote: > > Hi, >

Hi, Unfortunately damaging the media is not an option. The library will fine me up to $200 for this book as they must replace all disks for one damaged one. :( Regards, Alex, On 8-Jul-09, at 6:52 AM, kaare dehard wrote: > > In addition to the below, a mechanical solution may be required.

In addition to the below, a mechanical solution may be required. As the disk is being ejected, the label is probably getting caught up in the drive... Grab a pair of tweazers and give it a tug as the motors are trying to spit out the disk. It will probably damage the media some, but you wi

I think this is going to be more of a hardware issue since the drive is actually trying but failing to eject. Is the computer covered under apple care? My adventureus side wants to tell you to try ejecting it when the optical drive is facing downwards - ie: the mbp is stood sideways vertically. Yo

Alex, Try force quit and relaunch finder. Or, try ejecting the cd as the computer is booting. If that doesn't work, open terminal and type lsof -n|grep /Volumes/ volumename. After the grep you could also just copy the ikon of the drive in question from the desktop and paste it into the ter

Hi, My Girlfriend's Macbook Pro was chugging along nicely until today. We put in a Library disk with one of those raised Barcode labels on it and now the disk won't come out. The MBP tries to eject it, it gets stuck, and goes back in. Note: It doesn't come far enough out that we can catch
