One of the questions we seem to get asked the most here at About: Macs is "How do I eject a CD from my Mac?". Most of the folks asking this question are new Mac users who have either previously worked with Windows or who have just bought their first computer.

Now that you have read about how to eject a CD from your Mac, which of the many ways to eject a CD do you use or think you will use the most often?

How to eject cd/dvd

Click on (select) disk to be ejected, then press apple key and "E".

Right Mouse Click

I usually right-click on the CD icon and choose eject from the popup menu. Took me a while to get out of the habit of clicking and dragging the CD to the Trash. Right-clicking is much faster.

I wish I could remember the keyboard

I usually remember the keyboard button right after I've dragged the disc to the trash. Which is crazy, as I typically have to switch to a different window to see my desktop to find the disc to eject it.
