[QUOTE="bunnybooze, post: 277264, member: 21171"] My sister and I both have Macbooks with Intel Core Duo processors. Today, my sister inserted a music CD into her computer (Legal merchandise or whatnot, so its not a burned CD) The CD never loaded. The computer just made jerking sounds and never recognized the CD. It is still inside the laptop and we cannot eject it. We have tried the disc utility program and the CD doesn't show up on the list. We have also tried holding down the mouse button as soon as we start the computer but it is to no avail. iTunes and other programs do not recognize the hardware so we can't eject it through them. There is no emergency eject button on this computer. I don't know what to do!! This happened to me before with a DVD but I don't remember how it was eventually ejected. When starting up the computer, there is a huge time period between the music and the actual start up screen with the apple and the counter circle. Please reply~~! :( [/QUOTE]
