Since the very little information you provided, I do not know why
He runs slowly. But two points:
1. first of all, note that you should be concerned all the programs
starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
Status bar.
On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.
However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
You should be concerned, not with the way that a lot of these programs
you run, but who. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
others have no effect on performance.
Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
Internet search and ask questions about the details here.
Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.
2. the computer running slowly is very often due to a malware
infection. What anti-virus and anti-spyware programs do you run?

I have a MacBook Air 11 inch 1.7 GHz Core i7 with 8 GB of ram and 500 GB of hard drive running El Capitan. I have an iphone running ios 9.1 6. I can't my text messages to my mac. It was working fine up to three days. I'm in messages to settings then forwarding Message text and my phone has a pop up that prompts me to enter my code to six digits of my Mac but my Mac does not produce a six-digit code to enter. Is there a way that I can apply to my mac to send a code or other difficulty I have to do?
Thank you for your help.

Problems like this are often set by disconnect and connect again. Make that open the Messages on your Mac app, then select the Messages menu > Preferences... > accounts. Select the iMessage in question account (in other words, the account linked to your Apple ID and not those of other messaging services you may be using) then the logout button.
Reconnect and follow all the other instructions included in If you cannot send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support.
IOS update: update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support. This alone is not likely to be linked to the problem, but it includes a number of other bug fixes.

My iPod touch will not connect to WiFi and I followed the steps posted. Also, when he dies he thinks that it is December 31, 1969. What can I do to fix this?
Not knowing what the 'followed the steps posted' have been
The iOS device connects to other networks? If Yes, which tends to indicate a problem with your network.
The iOS device sees the network?
Error messages?
Other devices connect now?
The iOS device has connected before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
-Reset the device iOS. Nothing will be lost
Device iOS Reset: Hold down the On / Off button and the Home button at the same time for to
ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Power off, then back on your router
. - Reset network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings
- iOS: troubleshooting connections and Wi - Fi networks
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi - Fi network
- iOS: recommended for WiFi routers and access points
-Restore from backup. See:
-Restore factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at an Apple store Genius Bar because it appears that you have a hardware problem.
