If it's a drawer try tapping it, if it's a front load, shut off machine and turn on again. If nothing works bring it to a service center.

There is a tiny, tiny hole on all cd players to stick a pin needle or pen tip into. This will forcefully eject the disk. This does not fix the issue to prevent it happening again though.

Depends on the machine. For a standard DVD player its possible the disc is jamming the drawer so you may have to open up the whole thing.

If its on a computer, there is usually a small hold in the front that you can push a pin through and force the cd drive to eject. Make sure your computer is off before trying this. But in general, you can unscrew the device and pick out the CD.

It depends if it is stuck in a computer or your compact disc player. If it is in your computer take a paper clip and unbend it. Stick it in your tiny hole in the offending drive and put the tray out.

Assuming you mean from a computer cd player - unbend a paperclip and look for the very small hole near the CD tray. Insert the paperclip wire into it and the tray should pop open.
