i've bought a 2013 21.5 on eBay. Arrived this morning, but the keyboard has terrible battery acid leak. It will not work at all. switches on, but nothing else. I have another one, from a previous mac, but that wont pair either. My old PC keyboard works, but will not type an @ i'm back on PC now, temporarily.

Haven't used a mac for a while, so a bit rusty! In Finder, I cannot see Macintosh hard drive, the only drive listed is an external drive that's plugged in. I want to have a look at it & also transfer some data onto it

Any thoughts?

FONTS problem

I've installed office 2011. Was working fine, but Ive added a load of fonts into the fonts folder. (in Library) (from my PC) Now Word will not start. Says "updating font menu", getting to 3% or 8% or 54% and then crashing. Ive got back in & deleted a few fonts, with extensions I didn't recognise. Only TTF and OTF there now, TTF should be fine on mac? Not sure about OTF. Ive also rebooted the mac a couple of times. I can't delete all of the fonts and start again, as thats bound to upset it, evan more! Any ideas, guys?

Excel is the same, not booting. But Photoshop is fine
