Disc Fail to Eject in Mac

There is currently a Disc in your Mac System and you want to eject it and put in another disc but you hit the eject button and nothing happens...

As simple as it sounds, try holding the button down longer. A slight delay has been added to stop you ejecting discs accidentally. You can tap the Option key to hurry it up.

Still doesn't work? Find the disc on the Desktop and drag it onto the Trash icon in the Dock. Or click the Eject icon besides the disc's name at the left of any Finder window.

Still not coming out? Launch Terminal, found in /Applications/Utilities, type drutil tray open and press Return. That should do the magic.

Nothing still? The final option is to restart your Mac while holding down the left mouse-button.

External disk and memory drives can also fail to eject, usually because software is refusing to let go of them. Close the likely culprits: for example, iPhoto.
