Hello everyone!

OK, I put a ZIP disk on this Mac to share some data, but it didn't show up on the desktop...

I wanna take it out but the eject button is hidden behind the blue 'armor', so I can't press it... Any ideas? Maybe a driver?

Thanks!

If I connect my microwave to my PC, will I be able to download food?

There should be a tiny pin hole near the entrance. Use a
paper clip and push in to eject.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about, but the thing is covered with the Mac's blue plastic...

Hey, I had that prob once too...before I yanked out the
zipdrive and used that bay for a harddrive instead..
I installed this..

"http://www.4shared.com/file/18969035/20bf8022/IomegaWare_Install__English_.html"

Because this site trashes links otherwise...

and then I used the iomega program to eject it.
I can't remember if it was an app, or just a new contextual
menu that included 'eject', but it did work...back in the
10.1 days tho..although it should also install on panther..
I've uploaded it to my public folder in the link given
above.
You know , a restart should have been enough to eject it
tho...

Open the following folders:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/

Find and double click the:

Eject.menu

It will put an Eject icon in your Menu Bar

Whoops... Nevermind, I forgot I unplugged it last time I tried to replace that with a floppy drive... Turns out I forgot to plug it back in.

Sorry for wasting your times. XD
