I doubt the USB ports on the Mac are defective, but one could just check each one in turn with a flash drive, make sure the flash drive shows up on the desktop, eject it and go to the next USB port and test.īTW: I'm on Mojave with a 2012 Mac Mini and I don't get the little "kadoobry", the eject button icon in the menu bar - wonder why - probably because the 2012 Mini didn't come with an internal CD/DVD drive. So the drive is getting power from the Mac via the USB port but it doesn't recognize it for whatever reason In this case, the drive does spin up but the Mac doesn't recognize it.
With a CD/DVD drive one has to have a disk in the drive and the drive has to spin up before one knows if the Mac recognized it or not.

It may be some application you have open, it might use the CD even if you are not aware of this.Ģ. If the CD dosent come out, close all applications and try again. If you have an Intel machine, and do not get the CD out after trying the steps 1-4 I recommend that you contact Apple Support.)ġ. (Note: Step 5 only works on computers that do not have Intel processors. Here are some tips for you if your mac cd won’t eject. This can be rather annoying, but fortunately it is often easy to solve.
