Hi Pat, Your Mavericks system does sound like it has some niggling problems. If you find that problems persist you might be best to boot into Recovery Mode and reinstall Mavericks. Or get a consultant (I recommend Daniel) to have a look at it for you.
Apple ships each Mac with a lot of language files, which do take up space. Unless you are a polyglot, you'll never use these files. Or miss them when they're gone. You can Install "monolingual" a free utility that removes unneeded languages. Just click the languages you want to remove and click the Remove button. DON'T delete English! - I keep English (Australia) & English United States) The scan takes longer than you would expect, there are a huge amount of languages installed by default. <https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/7758/monolingual> I will be extremely busy from tomorrow for the next four weeks, so will not be able to give as much assistance on WAMUG. I will check WAMUG messages when possible & answer if I am available.
