Problems With CD Drives and Discs
CD disc is jammed.
The normal way to remove a CD disc from your computer is to drag the disc’s icon on the
desktop to the Trash. You can also select the disc’s icon and choose Eject from the Special
menu. Removable discs are usually ejected when you shut down your computer.
If a disc is jammed, shut down your computer. Locate the small hole in the middle of the
CD-ROM disc drive tray, and carefully insert the end of a large straightened paper clip. Push
gently until the disc is ejected. Do not use excessive force.
