Angry Two Discs Jammed In iMac G5 (2009) slot

I had put a cd into my mac, when I suddenly realised I had already entered a CD previously! There was no icon/sign on my mac to indicate there was a disc already present.

Now I have two discs jammed and you can hear my max trying to kick them both out but no luck.

What can I do to get them out?
Roughly, how much to be fixed!

Many thanks!!!

You will need to remove the optical drive, and open the cover on the optical drive. Then you will be able to remove both disks.
Take to an Apple service shop.
You would be charged between 1/2 and 1 hour labor, I suppose. How much, depends on the hourly rate at that shop.

As far as laptops go iFixIt.com guides have some guides to the internal Mac laptops. Plus OWC videos have some videos to certain Mac too.

I'm not sure what a iMac G5 (2009) might be.
If yours is brand new this year (and is aluminum with black trim), then I recommend that you take to an Apple repair shop for this.

If your iMac is white, and really is a G5, then we need to know what processor speed you have (Look under your Apple menu, for About This Mac)
