How do I get a CD out of an Apple laptop?
I put a CD into my apple laptop to try and upload it to Itunes, but it never showed up as actually being in the computer, and there is not eject button on the Mac like on other laptops. I can't find any way to get the CD out. Help please!

Open drawer same way as you did to INSERT the disc !!!
2 :
push the eject button on the corner of your keyboard. it looks sorta like an arrow.

There is an eject button on the keyboard, in the upper right hand side. You can also drag the CD icon to the trash can. Or you can go to the finder, and next to the CD icon on the left, there should be a clickable eject icon.
4 :
open it the same way you inserted if its stuck use a hairpin or a lock pick.

In order to eject a cd that has not mounted, reboot and as the machine is rebooting, continually press shift and click the mouse ( shift, click, shift ,click). This is a force eject...Good luck

there should be a very small hole on the front of the drive. Unfold a paperclip and poke it in there. That should force the door open. This happened with my g4 and that worked. If all else fails, take it to an Apple store (if there is one where you live) or a big computer store, like Comp USA, they should be able to help you put at little to no cost. Also, mark that cd with a sharpie, so you don't use it again. I got the same cd stuck twice, d'ohh!

A couple of ways. As mentioned previosly, press the disc eject key which is on the upper right of your keyboard. Reboot the machine, which will sometimes automatically kick out the disc. Now, if you inserted a mini-disc, you're going to have to physically fish it out. Mac laptops use a "toaster slot" drive, and can't do mini-discs.
