Ejecting the disc will not

What can I do to eject a CD that will not eject?

Hello franiebabe,

·         What happens when you try to eject the disk by pressing the button of the computer?

·         You try to eject the disk by right-clicking on the drive and click on eject?

If you are unable to eject the disc using the button, you can try to reset your CD/DVD drive.

Under the eject button, you will find a small hole. Try to stick a needle in the hole. This reset your CD drive and eject it.

If you still have questions to eject the disc, I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your computer as the hardware may be defective.

Thank you

  • Moved from my hard drive from one system to the other. Now Windows XP that was on the disc will not be activated.

    Activation problem

    My daughter has two old PC, which one was not being used. The hard drive has failed in the current PC, so I transferred the hard drive to another PC having failed in the spare PC. Windows XP Pro Startup OK up to the point of requiring activation but when I enter the product key of Windows XP Pro that I bought from Microsoft in 2006, does not recognize that and I think that it is because the hard drive is from another PC. Because we want to keep the old data on the old hard drive, how can I fix this problem?

    Also, that the PC is at less than 7 years and we cannot afford to buy a new, the activation request happens halfway during windows startup is to early for WinXP to recognize the keyboard and mouse USB PS2 only boots off the coast of motherboard and everything in a computer repair shop gave me a PS2 keyboard on this occasion they can't do it again. Is there a solution for this because you can not buy a ps2 keyboard longer?

  • Son of anarchy BD Discs will not play on BDX4400 (black screen)

    Hello world!
    Just wondering if anyone can help with the following: I had some problems with the blu - Ray of the BDX4400 player (remote works do not, the reaction is slow, frozen Portal etc.) for awhile, but it was ok with playing DVDs / blu - ray... Up to our days. I come from the Sons of Anarchy box, insert the first disk, and then the screen goes black.

    You can hear the disc turning for a few seconds and the play icon appears but then it's all... Just a black screen and you can't even eject the disc (remote not working do not when it is at this point).
    I tried other discs of this set, but the same thing happens. However, the other DVD / Blu - Ray work. Therefore, I am sure that the player is fine, but maybe im missing a parameter that must be changed...?
    Someone had a similar problem? (I disabled the internet connections and the bd-live function, but not luck)

    The region code is correct and FW is up to date, so this may not be the root of the problem, if all fails, I may have to blame the actual discs, but I have trouble believing that 15 discs are damaged...

    Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, which would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    It is always a stupid situation if everything works perfectly, but not with some discs/disc.
    In case your player works well with the other BR disks that the problem must be with the disks you have.

    Is there a possibility to test the disks on a few other BDplayer?
    You laptop / PC with BD optical drive? Can test you?

    To be honest, what is unclear to me that something can be changed (settings) in this case. Either it works or not.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  • Error occurred during the attempt to eject the DVD RW. Eject a door opens, but the tray will not come out.

    I'm afraid that the disc does not fit in the tray correctly taken somehow.

    ... but the ndoes bin move any.

    If you have inserted the paperclick in the hole at (or very close to) 90 degrees you experienced resistance which you then push gently through to open the tray. If any resistance was seen, it is possible that the tray jumped the small gears in plastic which facilitate the opening and closing. If this is the case, you will need to open the housing of the computer and physically remove the replacement drive.

  • eject the disc from the drive USB Super

    Last night I unboxed my new USB Super drive and attached to my MacBookPro. I put in a DVD of registered film and was able to start playing. Then I ejected it by clicking on the disc icon on the desktop, because I was just testing how it connected etc...  Then, I wanted to see if he could save.

    I inserted a blank DVD and he asked me to tell him what to save, but I didn't save. Instead, he presented another option, which was to IGNORE.

    So I clicked on IGNORE. As a result, there was NO ICON ON THE DESKTOP for this drive. And the text to EJECT in menu bar is grey.

    Now I am sitting here with a new USB Super with a blank CD disk stuck in it and am totally IGNORED, I asked, but what I didn't know when I asked to ignore me.

    That's the problem. I disconnected, signed back in, and he has not yet cleared my instructions to ignore. So I can't eject the blank DVD disc.

    Where should I go from here?

    My MacBookPro is the retina, i7, 15 '' running ElCapitan, a model community 2015, I think.  I'm not on it now, but will open it to follow the suggestions for help. I'm a new converted to Apple, computing, coming from Windows, so I need the regular basic directions. Any help is appreciated.

    Qosmio F750 - 12 p
    BD - RW Pioneer BDR-TD04A
    Windows 7 Home Premium

    Problem: Bluray discs will not play. CD will play.

    History: I did a clean install of Windows 7 and then installed 60 all the drivers from the support site for this laptop model. Or at least those that would install. Interestingly, the driver of Toshiba Bluray would not install. the installation process stated "player not found on your system" or something like that.

    What works the device currently is a 2006 (?) Microsoft driver.

    Clues? It's the second Toshiba laptop, I had to (second-hand), and they both had this problem: DVD players do not play DVD right from the start. Very annoying.

    Update:

    The "Bluray driver" mentioned above is just the own DVD from Toshiba software. It is not a driver. And it does not find the optical drive Bluray on my laptop!

    - The Bluray optical drive will play DVDs, but not of Bluray discs. I'll borrow an another DVD Bluray at the local library, to ensure that it is not a disk failure.

    -The Wifi does not work ("network controller driver is bad / missing")

    - I probably deleted the hidden partition that contains the Toshiba "system recovery disk". I have re-installed Windows and written too. [You are supposed to press "0" when the power, but it does not show the Toshiba Recovery console. I scoured the hidden with a freeware Windows partition and there is nothing usable here.]

    It is a stupid economy, not providing a system restore disk AND do not provide drivers download work. (The drivers offered on the site are simply updated). It makes the laptop value much less long term and creates bad word-of-mouth over time.

    The only station I have is to buy a Blu - Ray external drive and perhaps a Wifi dongle. Crazy.

  • Ejecting the disc external hard Force required

    Hi-

    I thought before that I had a solution to this problem, but obviously not.

    Almost whenever I click on the icon next to my external hard drive backup disk, in the left pane of a window of Finder, place appears an alert...

    The eject button Force works, so I have a workaround, but it seems unfair to have to use it.

    Time Machine power down and restart my machine clears the problem for a while, but then it comes back after a few hours or a few days.

    I tried to use 'lsof' Unix command in the Terminal, but haven't learned something from him.

    Any ideas?

    FWIW, I tried to recreate your problem with a USB 3.0 external drive. Unfortunately, I had no problem ejecting the disc without turning off time Machine. It is perhaps a matter of Firewire, but I have no Firewire drive to test.
