If you’re battling a CD or DVD that refuses to pop out, hopefully you find at least one does the trick! The standard stuffįor the sake of being complete, let’s start out simple. In an effort to be as comprehensive and help as many people as possible, I’m throwing in all of the strategies I’ve come across related to this topic. While some approaches appear to work more reliably than others, there is no single troubleshooting technique that has been proven to work for everyone. Over the years, a ton of different methods for ejecting stuck discs have been passed around the Apple community. The part that’s not so elegant is when a stubborn CD or DVD gets stuck! Thanks so much in advance.The slot-loading optical disc drives in MacBooks, iMacs, and Mac Minis are definitely more elegant than those flimsy trays on most computers.
Any suggestions for cleaners? Would one with the tiny brushes be safe on a mid-2007 MB? Where would I buy them? (Bonus points if I can buy them in NYC tomorrow.) Some suggested using canned air, but I'm not sure how to position it, and I don't want to risk any damage. But when I went online to look for specific suggestions, I got all sorts of mixed advice-some said not to use the kind with the tiny brushes because they could dislodge the lens, while others said they were fine. Thing is, I'm still not sure how-I went to the Apple Store to see if they had anything, and a staff member (not a Genius) told me that a store like Best Buy would have them.
But lately, I've been thinking that a cleaning maybe is not such a bad idea. I also watch DVDs on this computer fairly frequently. Since I purchased the computer in mid-2007, I've never taken a DVD cleaner to it-with the fact that it's slot-loading, I didn't want to risk any damage, and so wasn't sure how to go about it. I am perfectly aware that this could be a hardware issue, but because the AppleCare on my computer ran out in August and also because I am unemployed and low on cash, I want to try all possible avenues before bringing it in for someone to look at. While sometimes it will play, there will be occasions where I'll put a disc in, and I'll hear the whirring and everything, but nothing will happen and the computer ejects it. So, lately I've been having problems with my DVD player on my Macbook.
