[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1041010, member: 56231"] I suspect this is a job for a Mac tech, unless you think you can open up the iMac yourself. There's something wrong with the drive mechanism, or with the CD itself. Have you used the optical drive a lot, and have there been any problems with it before now? [size=1]Alternatively - and I'm hesitant to mention this, but your situation may call for it - I've used a small plastic spatula before now to push a stuck disk further in; or pushed the spatula in over the upper surface of the stuck CD to force it downward on to the platter, before trying the usual eject techniques.[/size] [/QUOTE]
