Loading / Ejecting CDs

Many Macs don't have an eject button on the CD drive.   Instead, the drive can be opened by a key on the keyboard and, sometimes, by a button within a software program.

Take a look at the number pad on the right side of the keyboard.  

Above the usual number pad keys are four buttons.   The first three control the system volume.   The key farthest to the right is the eject key.   Push it to open and close the CD drive.

The eject symbol will sometimes be seen within various applications.

For example, iTunes has an eject button in its interface that can be used to open and close the CD drive.
