My G4 tower won't eject a CD.
My girlfriend handed me an audio CD-R that I was going to copy some AIF files onto. Without either of us realizing it, the CD-R was not blank.
I recorded on it using Toast, but the result was I now have two CD icons on my desktop. One simply says "Audio CD". The other says "X-MAS IS PAST" (the name of the target CD).
When I eject either of these, the G4 gets hung up. The icon just keeps spinning.
When I force quit the finder, it relaunches and CD icons aren't there, but the CD is in the driver and it won't eject.
If I try to shut down the computer, everything on the desktop disappears and I am left with only the cursor, but the G4 refuses to shut down.
If I reboot, the G4 does so, but the same two CD icons appear on the desktop.
If I play the "Audio CD" in iTunes, it plays fine.
If I press the eject button on the CD driver (a Pioneer superdrive, by the way), nothing happens.
Aaaahhhhh!
Does anyone have any ideas?
Oh yeah, if I simply unplug the computer, after I reboot the two CD icons appear on the desktop again.
