To eject a CD/DVD that is not recognized by your computer, boot up while holding down the eject button on your keyboard, and continue to hold down eject until the disk ejects.
If this does not work, hold down your mouse button while booting up in the same way.
If neither of these work, open Terminal and type in the following:
drutil tray eject
If your disc does still not eject, your optical drive likely needs repair.
If you're trying to eject a CD or DVD:
Choose Apple menu > Log Out, and then log in again. Try to eject the disc again.
If you still can't eject the CD or DVD, choose Apple menu > Restart. While your computer restarts, hold down the mouse button or trackpad button until the disc is ejected.
