How to get DVD disk ejected?

[ipadder474]

I know there is are start up keys used to get the screen needed to eject a DVD inside a Macbook, Anyone please advise me the needed keys to hold down during start up.

I found this on the mac forums. It's from a really old post, but it should still work.

To eject a disc using firmware:
Restart the computer.
When you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Command-Option-O-F keys. (The Command key has an Apple on it.)
Release the keys when you see a white welcome screen.
At the prompt, type:
eject cd

Press Return, then wait a few seconds. The disc drive should eject the disc, and "ok" appears on the screen when the action is complete.
Type:
mac-boot

Press Return.
Your computer starts up normally and you see the familiar Mac OS X desktop.

I hope that helps.

Maybe Brent his MB does not have a mouse?

Prsonally prefer the eject tool in the Menu Bar.

Sometimes when installing software a problem happens, and the program just quits, leaving the DVD disk inside. there is no eject tool that works.
As it's been posted it's done at start up using the board keys.
