Stupis Bastid Macbook
Discussion
There is a DVD in the drive and it refuses to sodding budge. Its only had a disc of any sort in once before and it took a good few attempts to get it out then.
Its making its usual grunting ejecting noises but wont do anything other than that.
Help. I need my drive emptied
Just to add - have no music to listen to (none on puter), all I can hear is the bastid cat licking its balls - really don't like cats at all. Cats are vile vile animals. And I'm not even allowed a bunny - but they are cleaner as they don't sit on the fecking bed and lick their balls THEN come and lick you. Eugh. Much prefer my hamster - it may lick its willy but atleast it then doesn't lick me. Why the hell can't I have the rabbit?
Please just fix this bloody computer befor the cat goes out of the window.

Stopped the clunking noises but didn't eject the stupid disc. Going to wait until 11 to ring apple. Stupid thing is only a week old
Restart the machine. When the grey screen appears hold down the mouse button (try and get it down before the Apple logo appears). This will force eject anything in the drive. This should work unless there is anything physically preventing the DVD from leaving the drive (I have heard of very isolated incidences of drives moving and becoming misaligned with the slot in the case).

Cleaner? Wrong! You've never had to clean encrusted rabbit droppings impacted in a female rabbits nether regions.
Dirty creatures. Your other half is entirely right to prevent you from having one.
Trust me on this. Plus, you wouldn't believe quite how MUCH they crap. As for the mac problem, sorry, no idea.
I've had this on my MBP - usally when for some reason teh DVD drive can't pick up the start of a CD. It just spins and spins and i can hear the reader trying to move...
No idea why it happens but it has made me think that the old style of manually ejectable drives are much more robust. Occasionally various combinations of swearing and eject button pushing have made it happen after a while, but the last time i had to switch the machine off and just kept hitting efect before teh DVD player had time to start spinning.

On of the things that concerned me when buying my MB was the CD drive.......its just asking to go wrong! I would prefer a simple draw system with manual eject.......just have to take what they make if you want a Mac I suppose.
Surreal. Just appeared this second here
"Go into your utilities folder and open disk utility. Look on the left at the volume list and if your dvd is showing up there you can highlight it and select eject from the tool bar at the top.
If that doesn't work restart the computer, wait for the tone, then hold down the mouse. That should force it out if there is not a hardware issue."
