Ejecting a CD-ROM disc

Follow these instructions to open the tray and eject a CD-ROM disc from
your computer. If you have problems ejecting a CD-ROM disc, see “Problems
Using the CD-ROM Drive” in the section, “Solutions to CD-ROM Problems”
in Chapter 6.

IMPORTANT

You may not be able to eject a disc if it is being shared. To turn

off file sharing, use the Sharing Setup control panel.

1

Open the tray.

There are several ways to open the tray of your CD-ROM drive.

m Select the disc icon on your screen and drag it to the Trash. (You won’t lose

information on the CD-ROM disc by dragging its icon to the Trash.)

IMPORTANT

Special menu. If you do this, the computer keeps the CD-ROM disc in its
memory and continually asks you to reinsert it.

m Click the disc icon, then choose the Put Away command in the File menu.
m If the AppleCD Audio Player window is active, choose Eject CD from the

File menu, or simultaneously press the x and E keys. (AppleCD Audio
Player is a program that allows you to control your CD-ROM player and is
available in the Apple [K] menu.)

If no CD-ROM disc icon appears on your screen:
m Press the Open/Close button for your CD-ROM drive.

2
