For those with an IMac, at least one that is about 3 years old, you will have an SD card slot on the right side of the monitor. Convenient location. But, the CD slot is right above it. Yesterday, I reached over to put my SD in it's slot, and wasn't paying attention, and accidentally put it in the CD slot. I tried to retrieve it with a paperclip, but in so doing the CD slot gobbled it up. Good news, I had all the files on the SD card backed up, so I haven't lost anything. Bad news, it was a 256 gb card, worth about $100, and as you might expect, the CD slot will not work, I tried it. But then I don't use my CD slot except for an occasional program, which I can easily download from the internet, like print drivers. I don't use the CD for music, and I have several other SD cards of various sizes. So, be very careful putting in your SD card, it may be a new part of your CD drive. I am going to put some tape over the bottom of the CD slot to prevent a repeat.

Sorry for you loss. By the way, it's named iMac, not IMac
