I have this problem all the time with Windows as well. Basically, you insert a CD into your Mac and it doesn’t show up on the desktop, in iTunes or anywhere. At first I would just reboot, but that seems crazy to always do. Feels like a driver gets stuck. When you hit the eject, nothing happens, so what to do. Mainly I had not tried the press and hold the F12 trick.
Apple Portables: Troubleshooting the slot load optical disc drive
# If the drive does not eject discs, press the F12 key or, on original PowerBook G4 computers, the manual eject button located on the side of the slot. Holding down the trackpad button during startup should also eject a disc.
- Reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) and/or the Power Manager (PMU). PMU reset instructions for iBook G4/PowerBook G4 or for MacBook/MacBook Pro (both 15-inch and 17-inch models).
