I accidentally put my camera chip in the cd slot of my IMAC, and tried to get it out with a twist tie, but it only sunk in further until I could not even see it. i was so panicked, but after reading some of the hints here, I took a small ticket stub, about the size of a credit card, but not as stiff, and put it in until I figured it was behind where the chip was and just eased it forward until I could see the edge of the chip and grasped it with my fingernails and Hallelujah, it worked and my computer was OK. I will never do that again, I had a couple thousand photos on the chip, but they were all OK. It’s so nice to read about others having the same problems, it makes me feel less stupid.

THIS WORKED! I left the dvd in my mbp for a day so the computer would cool down, started the computer back up with a piece of cardboard in it and the dvd came right out !: )

THANK YOU!!! I had the same problem and took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. They told me it was my hard drive! Then the IT people at school took a look and told me it was either my logic board or graphic card and to get a new computer!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
