I acidently put my photo card in my CD slot on my MacBookPro. I could see it and when I got some twezers to pull it out a foam or rubber shield obscured my photo card. I do not want to damage by probeing. I tried the eject button. I shook it gently. Any suggestions?

Lightly shake the Macbook if you hear the card rattle take it to a Apple store if it dose not rattle the card may still be held in the dust shield of the CD drive. If this is the case cut a thin plastic "L" and slid it in with the open end of the "L" facing the card a couple inches away from the card. Make sure that the foot made by the "L" is facing the card. Slide the tool until it touches the card then pull it out slowly, you should feel it contact the bottom of the card and then you can pull it out.
If the card is loose in the drive take it in rite away spinning up the CD drive could damage the card and the drive.
