Disk eject doesn't work

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Contributed by: houdini100 Tuesday, March 13 2007 @ 06:30 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Updated two computers: G5 dual 2ghz tower & iMac 17" G5 2ghz.
Disk eject won't open tray on tower. Won't eject inserted disk on iMac. Big oops!
Can eject by right click and select 'eject'. Cmd-e doesn't seem to work either.

Disk eject doesn't work - rsieben1

try holding down the eject key longer. Apparently Apple has added a delay to avoid inadvertent disc ejects when the key is accidentally hit.

Apple discussions pointed out that you now have to hold the keyboard eject key down for the eject disk to work. It's a new 'feature'.

Applies to the "restart" dialog too - slurslee

You must also hold down the eject key when using ctrl-eject to bring up the restart/shutdown/sleep dialog.

Very good idea - I'm always knocking the eject key on my G5 keyboard - Thanks Apple
