Tip: Make sure the CD or DVD disc is not in use. Quit all applications that are using files on the disc.

1. Press the Media Eject key at the top-right corner of the keyboard.
2. If that doesn't work, drag the disc's icon to the Trash.
3. If that doesn't work, restart the computer, then hold down the mouse button or trackpad button while the computer is starting up, until the disc is ejected.
To restart, choose Restart from the Apple menu.http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2097
