I know that on some of the macs, the big mouse click button on the bottom
will eject it when held down just after you hit power. I know once I burned
a coaster that locked the whole system up and had to do this on my regular
Macbook but the newer ones could've gotten rid of that way of ejecting.

Hi Donna,
Try the following:
1. make sure the machine is powered off.
2. Hold down the eject button, that is the key to the right of the F12 key
and press the power button while keeping the eject button held down. You
should hear the cd start to spin and then the mac chime. After the chime the
cd should eject. Just keep the eject button held until the cd pops out.

so can't go into the utilities area to open Terminal.

Donna,
I am not sure exactly what is wrong or why you cannot get out your
dvd. If you can boot the system I would open terminal from the
utilities area and run the following
sudo eject /dev/cdrom
and see if that doesn't help.

Hi Donna,
Unfortunately, there's no way to physically eject the disc without
having
the machine turned on, since the only way you can do it is with the
eject
button. Also, why would you need Apple to reinstall the OS?

Hi all,
OK, since I seem to be out of options here, I don't know what to do
except
take the MBP into the Apple Store and have them reinstall the OS. But
I
don't want to travel with a DVD in the drive. Is there a manual eject
button anywhere on this thing?
thanks,
Donna
