[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1490643, member: 46727"] I don't have a 2012 iMac (without an optical drive), however, I own a 2011 model which does have an internal optical drive. Having said that.... I never use the internal drive but instead use an external Samsung DL DVD drive along with a wireless Apple keyboard. The eject key works on the wireless keyboard to eject a disk from the drive, not the drive itself as you asked. An external optical drive will not even mount on the desktop unless a disk is inserted. Perhaps that's what is causing your eject key not to work. The optical drive does not have to be ejected provided a disk is not inserted. Just unplug it. Not a problem. [/QUOTE]
