    How to eject CD/DVD from your MacBook or iMac

    Tags: macbook, unix

    If a CD/DVD gets stuck in your MacBook, this is what you do to get it out.

    1. drutils eject

    Start the Terminal applications (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)

    Run this:

    drutils eject

    If that fails, try the next command.

    2. disktool

    First, find the device name of your DVD drive.

    disktool -l
    It should show something like this: 
    disk0s1s2
    Then run: 
    disktool -e /dev/disk0s1s2

    Reboot and hold trackpad

    If those fail, reboot your MacBook. As it boots up, press and keep pressing the touchpad. It will eject the CD/DVD automatically.
