Again, this is something that can be done in Windows operating system simply by pressing the eject button on the disc tray, but in a Mac this is not possible. It could so happen that your CD or DVD may be stuck inside the tray and you need to force eject it. There are other instances where this information may prove to be useful. People who are using a Mac for the first time will find this very perplexing, and they will be left clueless about what to do, until someone guides them.

Learning how to eject a CD from Mac computers will prove very useful to you, because unlike Windows based machines, Macs do not have an eject button on the disc tray which can be used. This is a simple task to accomplish, and there are many different methods to do it. 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.If there is a disc inside the tray of your Mac, then you need to know how you can eject it. The 'installer problem' is another reason I love the other methods much more than dragging to the trash. Incidentally, drag-to-trash does not seem to work with volumes in the sidebar, but the other Eject methods do. 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.

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. I don't understand why Apple cannot make an automated process to unmount the installer once it's done.

I always find a ton of mounted installers left behind by users who install stuff on their systems. A new user would naturally expect to find an Eject command or button, and there they are in plain sight. 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. It's better to teach ways that actually make more sense. 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. The Trash is a mechanism for the permanent deletion of your data, and designed to appear as such. It's not a matter of failure, it's the idea of training people to associate the Trash with unmounting a volume.
