If your iPhone is frozen or doesn’t seem to be responding, you can force it to eject by pressing Command-Option-Escape

on your keyboard. This will bring up the Force Quit Applications window. Select iTunes from the list of applications and click “Force Quit.” This will immediately eject your iPhone, even if it’s unresponsive. You can also use the Finder to eject your iPhone. Open a new Finder window and click on the “Devices” heading in the sidebar. Locate your iPhone in the list of devices and click the Eject button next to it.

If you’re having trouble ejecting your iPhone, make sure that iTunes is completely closed. You can do this by opening the Activity Monitor application and quitting any processes that are still running for iTunes. Once all of the iTunes processes are stopped, you should be able to eject your iPhone successfully.
