HOW DO I FIND THE EJECT BUTTON ON MACBOOK PRO W...

i have a macbook pro with retina display , and i want to know how i eject the disc from the apple external optical drive i can't see the eject button on the keyboard layout.

If you see the disk on the desktop just drag it to the trash, that will eject it.

There are lots of ways to eject without needing a hardware key. In the Finder:

  • Select the CD and choose File/Eject.
  • Select the CD and press Command-E.
  • Control-click/right-click the CD and choose Eject.
  • Look at the bottom of the sidebar in any Finder window. There will be an eject button next to the CD. Click it.

Actually, that dangerously counter-intuitive method (eject by appearing to trash the media) is from the Old Days of the 1980s/1990s, and should no longer be taught since it has been replaced with all of the safer methods listed above.

Works for me every time without failure.

From page 230 of the Apple OS X Support Essentials training manual: There are four methods to unmount and eject a disk from the Finder:

 

First method given is drag the disk icon to the Trash icon in the Dock.

 

If Apple trains support staff that this is the first method to use to eject a disk it seems to be not so dangerous.

It's not dangerous at all and in fact more people should probable make a habit of cleaning up their desktops after program installs because I always find a ton of mounted installers left behind by users who install stuff on their systems.  I don't understand why Apple cannot make an automated process to unmount the installer once it's done.  Just seems stupid to me I guess.  I've seen that mounted installer confuse people into clicking on it each and every time they want to start the app because they don't understand that once it's installed, that installer should be ejected because they're done with it.

It's not a matter of failure, it's the idea of training people to associate the Trash with unmounting a volume. The Trash is a mechanism for the permanent deletion of your data, and designed to appear as such. Apple haters used to laugh at this..."Eject by dragging to the Trash? And you say the Mac is intuitive? Ha ha ha..." And they were right. It's better to teach ways that actually make more sense.

 

The great thing about all the newer ways is that they are easily discoverable, you don't have to remember or figure out that you have to virtually trash your disk. A new user would naturally expect to find an Eject command or button, and there they are in plain sight.

I agree about the installer volume behavior...and Apple made it worse in Mountain Lion by putting the volumes on the bottom of the Finder sidebar, which is often out of view. Incidentally, drag-to-trash does not seem to work with volumes in the sidebar, but the other Eject methods do.

 

The "installer problem" is another reason I love the other methods much more than dragging to the trash. To eject multiple volumes by selecting them and pressing Command-E is much faster than the time taken to gather them up with the mouse and drag all of them to a specific spatial target.

I just right-click and eject them anyway, so this doesn't pertain to me, but to say it's unsafe to eject something via the drag-to-trash method is not correct.  That's all the two of us are trying to say.  It doesn't pose a danger anymore than the other ways of ejecting a volume or installer does.

@Network23, why "dangerous"?

@Ralph, what about ⨕ Command Control Eject?
