Apple 6360 manual Ejecting a disk, If you can’t eject a floppy disk

The tray on your CD-ROM drive automatically closes when you shut down your computer. You may want to open the tray and take out your CD-ROM disc before shutting down.

Ejecting a disk

For instructions on ejecting any disk (a floppy disk, a CD-ROM disc, or a removable media disk), see the “Disks” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

If you can’t eject a floppy disk

If you can’t eject a floppy disk in the usual way, try the following steps in order:

mHold down the x and Shift keys and press the number 1 key on your keyboard to eject a disk in the internal disk drive.

mShut down the computer. If the disk isn’t ejected, then hold down the button on your mouse or other pointing device while you turn the computer on again.

mLocate the small hole near the disk drive’s opening, and carefully insert the end of a large straightened paper clip into it. Push gently until the disk is ejected. Do not use excessive force.

If nothing works, take the computer or disk drive to your Apple-authorized service provider to have the disk removed.
