Hi,
Sometimes, when I insert a music CD in my iMac alu, it doesn't mount.
The only way I found to eject it was to use disk utility which sees the CD.
I was wondering if there was a way to tell the finder to eject the CD. The problem is to identify it.
A simple
tell finder
eject CD
end tell


Does'nt work. It doesn't know what the CD is. And I don't want to eject hard disks that are mounted.
Any clue ?

This will work

	tell application "Finder" to eject (every disk whose ejectable is true)

provided the disk is mounted. But, your problem seems to involve an unmounted disk.
This will cause an optical drive to open


	do shell script "drutil -drive " & driveNr & " eject"

but you will need the drive number of the optical drive. If you have only one optical drive, then its drive number = 1, so you can use ...

	do shell script "drutil -drive 1 eject"
