Geek Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/show-disk-eject-menu.jpg" alt="Hidden disk eject menu" title="show-disk-eject-menu" width="608" height="95" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25363" /></p> <p>If you use a lot of DVD’s or CD’s on a regular basis, you may find some use enabling a hidden disk eject menu item. Once enabled, you’ll have a Finder pull down menu that lists discs, and selecting a disk from the menu ejects it:</p> <ul> <li>Hit Command+Shift+G to bring up the Go To Folder window, using the following path:</li> <p><code>/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/</code></p> <li>Locate and double-click the menu item named “Eject.menu”</li> </ul> <p>To remove the Eject menu, just hold down the Command key and drag it out of the Mac OS X menu bar. </p> <p>The Disk Eject menu works in OS X Lion but is probably only going to be useful for Mac owners who have a CD or DVD drive, because it doesn’t seem to show external USB devices in testing. It also seems to be connected to the same eject mechanism of just dragging a disk to the Trash, so if you have a <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/04/08/eject-a-stuck-dvd-from-your-macbook/">stuck disc</a> it’s probably not going to be as effective as a forced eject.</p> <p>On a side note, once you’re in the Menu Extras folder you will find a variety of other menu bar items you can add by double-clicking. Most of these are also available by enabling various settings in System Preferences, but Eject seems to be unavailable elsewhere. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/45t6dc7kaYK3FfTjMFRnd6ZimlU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/45t6dc7kaYK3FfTjMFRnd6ZimlU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/45t6dc7kaYK3FfTjMFRnd6ZimlU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/45t6dc7kaYK3FfTjMFRnd6ZimlU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZIRhbuNkoh0:ngpS5Y7Q0kI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZIRhbuNkoh0:ngpS5Y7Q0kI:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=ZIRhbuNkoh0:ngpS5Y7Q0kI:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZIRhbuNkoh0:ngpS5Y7Q0kI:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=ZIRhbuNkoh0:ngpS5Y7Q0kI:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZIRhbuNkoh0:ngpS5Y7Q0kI:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZIRhbuNkoh0:ngpS5Y7Q0kI:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/ZIRhbuNkoh0" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
