If you look carefully you will see a pin hole on your disk drive built in to your apple computer.
The disk inside the disk drive might be stuck or the there can be some damage in the disk driver. Either ways you can insert a sharp pointed object like a needle or a pin in the pin hole. This will eject the drive.
If the disk drive does not eject, to avoid any further possible damage the laptop has to opened and the disk drive has to be removed and inspected. If the above solution solved your problem, You disk drive may start to function properly otherwise if there is no hole (since many disk drivers have no holes) or the insertion and poking of needle does not work the only recommended option is that you have to take it Repair shop or give it to a tech.
Good Luck!
drives in all macs are a bit suspect and if your
macbook is still under warranty or under AppleCare take it back to the
Apple Store and tell them that the DVD drive is faulty and they should
replace it free off charge. Hope this helps.

Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared. If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar. Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button. Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism. Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.

When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button. 50 views

The disk freed itself for some reason before I was going to take it to a computer person.
