Hello there, lidijaz96.


Dec 28, 2010 Sometimes when i put a disc in the imac it won't recognize it. When it does this I can't eject it or anything. I have to restart the machine. It does this on cdr's, dvd's or install discs. What causes this? Everything else is perfect so I hesitate to take it in. May 27, 2013 Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive. Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways: 1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the. Left mouse button until the disc ejects. Press the Eject button on your keyboard. Click on the Eject button in the menubar. ITunes imports most songs in a few minutes, and an entire CD in about 10 minutes. In the iTunes app on your Mac, insert an audio CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive, or into an external drive that’s connected to your computer. If you don’t see info for the CD, click the CD button near the top left of the iTunes window. Do one of the following.

Troubleshooting
Below are several possible symptoms you may see. Follow the steps for the appropriate symptom to figure out whether the issue stems from the drive or the media. Be sure to inspect discs before use to ensure they are not cracked, scratched, or otherwise damaged Inspection should include the inner ring of the disc which should be smooth and burr free. A disc with physical defects may become stuck in or cause damage to the drive.


  1. Make sure the drive is not upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up.
  2. Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
  3. The MacBook Air SuperDrive is designed to be used with MacBook Air and Mac mini computers that do not have a built-in optical drive. For best results, connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
  4. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
  5. Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
    • Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopardor earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing 'About this Mac' from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
    • OS X 10.7 Lion or later: Open System Information by choosing 'About this Mac' from the Apple () menu. Then, click System Report.
  6. If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.
