If you’ve recently purchased a new Macbook Pro, you might be wondering how to eject a CD or DVD from the external optical drive. Don’t worry! We can help you out.
The first thing to do is to try and eject the disc through the Apple menu. Just select “Log Out” from the Apple menu, then log in again and try to eject the disc once more. If that doesn’t work, choose “Restart” from the Apple menu and hold down your mouse or trackpad button while the computer restarts. This should cause the disc to be ejected from the drive.
If those methods don’t work, there are several other ways you can eject a CD or DVD from your Macbook Pro. Right-click on the desktop icon of any external volume connected to your Mac and drag it into the trash can located in your Dock. You can also choose “Eject” from the File menu in Finder, press Command-E on your keyboard (there may be an eject key located at the top right corner of some keyboards), or press and hold F12 until your disc is ejected from the drive.
We hope these tips help you get your Macbook Pro up and running with ease! If you have any further questions about ejecting CDs or DVDs from your Macbook Pro, feel free to reach out for assistance.
