Hi All
Thought I would share with you.....I have an iMac 27" model. I put a CD in today containing photos sent to me from a family member. It has a self-made sticky label on it....and I couldn't eject it (the label had come away at one corner & was stuck to 'some part' of the drive)...nightmare!!
I trawled Google and came up with a video on UTube.....2 credit cards with double sided sticky tape on .....push 1 in to the CD slot, then the other and force them together.......and the disc came out, like in the middle of a sandwich.
Glad to report, no apparent damage to the drive.
Lesson learnt......watch out for sticky labels!!
