If you can’t eject a floppy disk
If you can’t eject a floppy disk in the usual way, try the following in order:
m Hold down the x and Shift keys and press the number 1 key at the upper left of your keyboard to
eject a disk in the internal disk drive.
m Turn off the computer. If the disk isn’t ejected, hold down the button on your trackpad or other
pointing device while you turn the computer on again.
m Locate the small hole near the disk drive’s opening, and carefully insert the end of a large
straightened paper clip into it. Push gently until the disk is ejected. Do not use excessive force.
If nothing works, take the computer to your Apple-authorized service provider to have the
disk removed.
