My housemate, having not learned his lesson the first time this happened, has put another pc data cd into my iMac. I can't get the durn thing ejected. Any suggestions?

Posted by: jane. at February 3, 2005 06:56 PMha this is a really common mac problem, just search google and you should be able to find a solution. iMacs can be a little silly sometimes.
Posted by: James at February 3, 2005 11:23 PMOverall I like Macs, but this is what is ridiculous about them. Why can't they have eject buttons like PCs?

Posted by: bobw at February 4, 2005 04:40 PMi don't understand.
there IS an eject button on my mac.
granted, it's on the keyboard, and i can mouse to eject icons in the finder window sidebars...
that's on a powermac g5.
are imacs eject-button-less?
I am new to Imac. Can you please help me? Tell me how to get into the program files, or at least search thru them. I found it once but cann't now. Thanks...

Posted by: Bill at October 25, 2005 02:06 PMBill, thanks for the comments--back when I was having this problem the processor got all busy and wouldn't quit so I couldn't perform any eject operations. I think I had to use the paperclip option and then wait a while the worthless disk to emerge.
