Why do I have more than one copy of a TV show on my Mac?

+Hi everyone, this is my first ever post so go easy on me!+
I bought an HD TV series via Apple TV. I noticed files were downloading to both Apple TV and my Mac as well - I expect this is normal. I started a sync to clear all but the 5 least recent unwatched HD episodes off the AppleTV as the whole series would not have fit on there. I left the files processing overnight but iTunes crashed at some point so I had to start the sync again. The second sync has now completed and I've got my 5 least recent unwatched episodes on AppleTV (episodes 3-7). So far so good...
*Now, in iTunes I see that I have two copies of the HD versions of episodes 1,5,6,7,8,9 and 10.*
*Will it be OK to delete these extra copies from my iTunes library?*
*Did I do something daft getting it to Sync before all downloads were finished - if so, is there anything I could/should do differently?*
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

Why cant i have more than one movie at a time

why cant i have more than one movie at one time

It may be how much space is available on your iPad. The average movie is around 2.5 gigabytes. If you reach your space limit then you can't download anything until you clear space.

I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

Can you have more than one alert at a time show up on the lock screen?

When i recieve a new message, this shows up as an alert on the lock screen when my phone is locked, as its supposed to. However, if a new alert comes through before i open the previous one, only the most recent one will appear on the lock screen. Is there anyway to set it so multiple messages can be displayed on the lock screen at once?

Yes, you may have more than one "single" subscription, with the photography special counting as a single

Contacts & iCloud: can you have more than one iCloud account syncing with Contacts on the Mac?

I want to set up a shared iCloud account for multiple users in a (very) small office environment, where several new iOS devices and, for the moment, two Macs (2012 13" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Mini) will be able to read/write to a shared Contacts account – and at the same time maintain a second, personal iCloud account linked to the same Contacts app on one machine, which account's contacts data will remain private and inaccessible to the other Macs/devices which are likewise using the shared account.
Can this be done? (I.e., can Contacts app on a Mac include separate iCloud accounts?)
If so, how to set it up?
Thanks

Thanks for your answer. There's no problem with others accessing that Mac – it's used by one person only – my question is can you add a second iCloud account to Contacts. Over the past two days I had tried to add the shared iCloud account to Contacts and kept getting failures. But maybe the server was down or the ISP was weird: your response assumes it can be done and so, to my embarrassment, I tried again just now and violá, it's done. Thanks again.
P.S. Finding a simple presentation that makes clear you can have more than one iCloud accounts syncing to Contacts at the same time was very hard to find, either from Apple or others on the web. Maybe I don't know how to search, but they could do with a clear explanation of this for the uninitiated.

Is it possible to have more than one copy of a song on my iphone?

My phone and laptop only indicate that I have one copy of a song. When I plug into my Apple sync cord for my 2012 Chevy Equinox (equipped for running the phone & ipod) the radio shows several copies of songs.

You actually can. Start the second IDE using a different user directory:
sunstudio --userdir /tmp/123456
Or you can simply start a second debug session in your IDE. It should work as well.

Why do i have more than one "Sites" cert after updateing and expired cert.Can i delete the expired cert?????

Hi After getting the below message i updated my cert but now have 3 of the same certs? Can i delete the expired cert?????
There is no valid SMTP Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate for the FQDN of SERVER.domainname.local. The existing certificate for that FQDN has expired. The continued use of that FQDN will cause mail flow problems. A new certificate that contains the
FQDN of SERVER.domainname.local should be installed on this server as soon as possible. You can create a new certificate by using the New-ExchangeCertificate task.
I used "Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains,Thumbprint,Status,Services | fl"
to see which cert was expired
I used "Get-ExchangeCertificate –Thumbprint 91D4C277BE4DF5FA15FC76D936375B7766ABCC23 | New-ExchangeCertificate" to replace the expired cert
I re-ran "Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains,Thumbprint,Status,Services | fl"
to see if it had worked
but now i have two certs one expired the other not. Can i delete the expired cert?????

Hi
Yes you can delete the expired certificate which are showing as it is not functional anymore and they remain as stale entries
You can use below command
Remove-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "specify the value "

Can you have more than one theme in a slide show?

I am creating a slide show for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary but do not want to use the same theme throughout the slideshow. I have not been able to figure out how to change themes after a series of pictures. Is there a way to do this?

Chop the project into several different slideshows with different themes, export them as quicktime movies, and reassemble them in imovie.

How can I tell if I've installed more than one copy of Flip4Mac?

I have a bunch of .WMV files and decided to install Windows Media for Mac. It wasn't easy and I think between the two installations and attempts at uninstalling I might have more than one copy. Any help is appreciated.

That site is a con. It makes you believe it is scanning your system for viruses and then says your infected and offers you an anti virus installer to download.
Its a con. It is pc-centric if it is offering you some malware then it is in a .exe format and cant run on a mac. I am unsure why your console opened I don't think that is related.

Adding more than one song to a slide show in Elements 11

Most of my slideshows are longer than one song and I get tired of it just repeating. Can I have more than one song in a slide show and how do I do this?

I like to use different songs for different parts of slide shows and also to edit out some of the extra verses in some of the songs I use, so what I do is to use Wavepad (free download) to edit the desired songs. I save each one in a separate file (adding a descriptor such as "short" to the original title). Then, I open a new file in Wavepad, save it as the name of the slide show (such as Graduation Medley), then copy & paste each song from its respective file, in the correct sequence I want them to play into the new file. Be sure to save at the end, in between, all the time.
I go back to iTunes and import the new file into the Library. Then I go back to iPhoto, select the relevant slide show, click on the Music button and select that file for my music for the slide show. I then go to the Settings and click the button that says "Fit photos to music".
You can also create a playlist from the edited files and add the playlist as specified in the other posts.
When previewing the slide show, if the music for the 2nd section starts too soon or too late, I adjust the time for a couple of beginning section's slides, add an extra one in, or maybe even reedit the music.
Hope this helps.

If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic? When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

No it doesn't. Albums simply reference the photos in the Library. A single shot can be in 100 albus and use no extra disk space at all.
If you have the same shot in two Events then yes, the file is duplicated.
When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.
The Finder doesn't really understand the iPhoto Library. It's quite possible for the iPhoto Library to contain many files with the same name. The Library also contains different versions of the same shot - thumbnail, originals and edited version. This is normal.

Why does Boot Camp Assistant already think I have more than one partition on my hard drive?

Greetings...
I'm surprised I've found no remedy for this problem in my searches so far. My symptom is that when I run the Boot Camp Assistant app, I get the following error message:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." The instructions that are provided along with the error message are: "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
When I try to follow the instructions, I see that Disk Utility shows my drive as having a single partition. Nevertheless, I've backed up my Macintosh HD volume, re-artitioned the drive into a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume (once using the Snow Leopard Installation disk and once using Drive Genius 3), and restored my Macintosh HD volume. After all that, I still get the same error message. I even defragged my hard drive, which seems to have helped some users I've read about, but it hasn't helped me.
Something worth noting is that I recently upgraded to a bigger internal hard drive, and before doing so, I deleted the Boot Camp volume. I innocently thought I'd just do a fresh install sometime after replacing the hard drive, but hindsight tells me that I might have fallen victim to my own ignorance.
Is there a value stored in a register somewhere that's telling my OS that I have more than one partition when I really don't? Can someone out there help me do battle against my ignorance?
I'd be grateful for any help that can be sent my way...

I used DG3 to initialize the HD, which essentially erases the disk if I understand correctly. I haven't used Superduper before, so perhaps that's worth looking into.
I did mentioned the use of DG3 to ensure that I had a single disk partition. I guess the restore from a clone or Time Machine was implied...
;o)
Thanks for putting some effort into helping me. I'll look at Superduper and let you know if that gets me anywhere...

Your welcome and good luck finding the solution. BTW as a newbie you benefit from:
Switch 101 & Mac 101.
Also you may want to reassess to see if you really need Windows on your computer. Remember if you install it you have all the issues every Windows users has to deal with. When I switched almost 4 years ago I installed Windows too but now I only turn it on to see if it still works. Of course your situation is different you may have proprietary software only designed for Windows and have to have it installed.
