Same launchd error in console each 10 second

I see the following messages on my console each 10 Seconds:

I think that the problem is photostream-agent. But I have no more iPhoto, and I don't find a com.apple.photostream-agent on my Mac

How I can remove this call from com.apple.pc.launchd ?

Thanks

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), Bad uninstall iPhoto

Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.xpchelper.cache

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)

from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. Close it. If instead of the Info dialog, you get a notice that "the item can't be found," ask for further instructions.

*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

i'm having the same issue as @jjtitan92. I have two functional issues: Safari hangs for a while and puts up a beachball almost any time I click on something. The other is the "Backup Failed: There isn't enough space on Time Machine" that is reported on multiple threads. I don't think this one is relevant, but what's happening with Safari may be. This only started happening a few days ago, long after I upgraded to El Capitan.

I haven't the functional issues that you say.

I Only have some errors reported by the console whithout any fuctionnal consequences

I Agree with etresoft. You should begin by using the apple utilities like disk util in the Applications/Utilities to verify your disk

Hello jjtitan92,

There is a misconception that the "Repair Disk" function of "Disk Utility" will physically repair the disk. It does not. It will only repair the logical structure of the data on the disk, i.e. the filesystem. If the disk is physically failing, Disk Utility cannot help. Like the SMART utility, it can even be harmful by giving users a "verified" message and making them think that there is no problem with the disk.

For disk errors, use the "duck test". If it looks like a failed disk, sounds like a failed disk, and acts like a failed disk, then it probably is.

Thank you everyone. If anyone cares to review, here are the results from Linc's script: http://pastebin.com/3ap3d1eH (this link will expire in two weeks).

Coincidentally, I had a previously scheduled appointment to rip apart this iMac and install an SSD (using an iFixIt kit), so I guess I'll be having the physical hard drive replaced as well.

I've solved this!

The problem is not with Spotlight, but with Launch Services. There are two steps to solving the problem:

sudo mkdir /private/var/db/lsd
sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.fra mework/Support/lsregister -kill -seed -lint -r -f -v -dump -domain local -domain system -domain user -domain network

The first one creates the folder that the launch services daemon needs to store the database. That's why LaunchServices is getting an -10822 error, because it can't create the database, so it keeps resetting the connection. The second command tells launch services to kill the old database and create a new one from scratch. Voila!
