Alright guys i will start off by saying i am an idiot when it comes to computers so these are probably easy fixes/dumb questions so go easy on me. My macbook has just recently started running really slow, beachballs all the time. also not sure when it happened but the battery level is no longer displayed in the top bar. also used to be just had to open it to wake it but now have to hit spacebar or maybe any key just always hit spacebar to wake. Also when i shut it i have to go back into system preferences to connect back to my internet(wireless). would also like to get a good app for cleaning/decluttering. sorry for all the questions and any answers to any of these would be greatly appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

Have a look at Activity Monitor (Applications / Utilities /) and select All Processes and sort by CPU to see what the culprit may be.
Also check the "System Memory" tab to see what your "Page ins:", "Page outs:" and "Swap used:" are.

Try this click on Finder then click on System Library then click on Core Services then click
on Menu Extras the last but not least click on Battery Menu also you will notice there are a lot of things you can clutter the bar with.
Not sure if this will help, but if you downloaded a new software lately that could also be an issue..
10.6.8 also tried the battery menu route but this didnt help either. it acts like it wants to put it up there and the other icons slide like they are making room for it but then they just slide back.
