Another item I can't track down:

com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.nowplayingtouchui): Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.

The The Now Playing UI is the new Touch Bar

My 2010 MBA does not have this (AFAIK), so how can I get this to stop spawning every 10 seconds?

macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

Other discussions point to the touchbar on the new MacBokkPro. Apparently Sierra thinks every Mac has or should have the touchbar. This log entry is annoying and takes up huge space but the error seems to be benign. Someone is hawking a free product called touché that mimics a touchbar on your monitor and this seems to turn off the logging error but I have ZERO experience with the product, don't know ANYTHING about it or the publisher.

I have the same issue with continuous "com.apple.nowplayingtouchui" messages in syslog after upgrading from El Capitan to Sierra 10.12.2 on my iMac.


I was able to isolate this to loading Safari. If I reboot and don't bring up Safari, I don't get the message; as soon as I load Safari the message starts.


I thought it might have to do with the "Apple Pay" setting in Safari/Preferences/Privacy, but disabling it didn't change the issue.


There is no perceivable problem with my system with having these messages, so guess i will wait for Apple to address in a future update.
