I own a secondhand MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) and had no issue with placing my dvd inside of my disk player. However it wouldn't read and all I got was an empty file in my finder with the title "Remote Disk". I kept using the eject option and followed tips such as the command E method, holding down the button after the reset chime, drutil eject command and using a piece of paper to try and get it out but all have failed. Are there any other options before I send it off to get fixed?
It sounds like you covered many options—
here is my list:
-dragging and dropping the icon for the CD into your trashcan
- Restart the computer and after the chime (older computers) press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
- Press the Eject/Esc button on your keyboard.
- Click on the Eject button in the menubar, Finder>File>Eject
- Press Command E
- Open the Terminal application in your Applications/Utilities folder. copy & paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If all this fails then try this:
- Boot the computer into single user mode (hold down Command S through the boot process)—
at the prompt copy & paste:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
Restart the computer enter reboot at the prompt or shutdown
- restarting hold down the trackpad button
