Hello Guys,
Ok, here's my setup:
Mac Pro(3,1)2.8Ghz Octo
Apple Compact Wireless Keyboard
Wireless Mighty Mouse
And the Problem:
My DVD drive's tray will not open.
If I hit the eject key on my keyboard, the eject symbol pops up, but the tray does not eject. If I try it again, no matter how long I hold the eject key, the symbol will not show up, and the tray still does not come out!
Now, I know that the key is not faulty because I can shut down or put it to sleep with the key combos that include the eject key.
I've restarted and it has worked/ejected right after I restart, but it's almost like if the disc spins down, or the drive just sits without being ejected, it falls asleep or freezes.
Also, if I go into System Profiler to check the DVD drive, once selected ('Disc Burning") in the menu, System Profiler just sits there with the spinning beach ball!
Is there a way to 'hard' open the DVD tray?
So, any tips?
Thanks in advance!
