How to Eject a CD From a Macbook

Unlike a lot of Windows PCs, your MacBook has a recessed disc drive slot. So instead of pressing a button on the disc drive to eject a CD, you must use your keyboard. You can also easily eject a CD from your MacBook's desktop with your mouse or trackpad.

Instructions

Eject Button

1. Press and hold the "Eject" button on your MacBook keyboard. It is located at the top right of your keyboard, next to your "F12" key.

2. Wait as your MacBook ejects the CD.

3. Retrieve your CD from the disc drive.

From Your Desktop

1. Locate the CD icon on your desktop.

2. Click it once to select it.

3. Right-click it and select "Eject" from the drop-down menu that appears. Your CD will eject. Alternatively, you can also drag and drop the CD icon to the Trash to eject the disc.
