Why is apple Tv showing multiple copies same library

I use Apple TV a lot but recently multiple libraries of the same account are showing when I go to my computer's tab in Apple TV. There is only one account configured on Apple TV but multiple copies of the same library are shown on screen, Library of My Name is listed at least 10 times and when I try to connect it sometimes won't work, telling me I have to activate home sharing in iTunes, when it is working, it looks to me it takes more time than the time I was used to wait for before all this happened.
A reboot of Apple TV gets rid of almost all the listings but 2 or 3, again of the same account. My computer is an iMac 27, running Yosemite, iTunes and Apple TV are both up to date.

I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

  • Why does mail program show multiple copies of a message, in various stages of completion in the trash folder ?

    I am using an iMac with OS 10.9.4, Mail 7.3. My mail trash file contains multiple copies of partially complete messages I've sent. This problem seemed to begin when I began using "Maverick".

    I have this exact same problem.
    32 copies of one email. 3 o4 copies of others…
    Rebuilding the trash makes no difference at all.
    Any other suggestions? I have rebuilt my other mailboxes as well.

  • How do I stop having iTunes show multiple copies of podcast episode on iPhone?

    When I sync my iPhone to my computer with iTunes, iTunes appears to show multiple copies of the podcast episodes on my iPhone. 
    How can I correct this?  I'm running the latest copies of iTunes and I'm using Mavericks.  The iPhone is a 4S running the latest iOS.
    Thanks,

    I know this is a little bit old, but I started having this problem, and this thread was one of the ones that showed up.  I believe I figured out a little bit more, at least in my instance.
    I have a 5C, running the latest iOS, and the latest iTunes running on the latest Mavericks.
    If you're having what I'm having, you don't see multiple copies browsing the iPhone Podcasts app; you only see the multiples when you go to "on this iPhone" in iTunes, or click the device in the sidebar.   I had a similar issue; I was seeing something like a dozen copies of the same Freakonomics podcast, and often another one was getting added after I synced.
    I checked my iPhone though - and I don't think there's actually mulitple copies of the file, despite what iTunes is telling me. 
    On the iPhone itself, go to "settings", and then "general", and then usage.  This screen will tell you how much storage each app on the phone is using.  If you click "Podcasts" on this list, the next screen will break down the storage used for each podcast.  I took note of the size it was reporting for podcasts that showed duplicate copies in iTunes; and then added up the file size for the number of files that *should* have been on there.   Three episodes should have been something around 80 MB, and that's exactly how much the Podcasts app said it was using.  Had I actually been storing 12 copies of the same episode, it should have been much larger.  (The numbers here are rough guesses, I don't remember what they were exactly at the time, but was exacting when checking, and the math did check out.) 
    I also checked the sum total size of the podcast audio files on of my laptop, and the Podcast App reported using pretty much exactly the same storage for all audio files as if I added up a single copy of all files that *should* be there for the podcasts I expected to be on the phone.
    So while this seems like yet another screw-up behaviour of the Podcast App, at least in my case, it doesn't appear that it's something to worry a whole lot about, as the poodcasts aren't eating up space on your iPhone, at least if you're only seeing the duplicates while browsing the device in iTunes.  Still another item on the list of reasons the default Podcast app needs to be fixed, though.
    When I finally listened to the podcast in question, and it became marked for deletion (and at that point shows a "cloud" icon next to it, which I believe means the file itself is actually already gone from the device, and the "deleting" in 24 hours is just the item being removed from the list) the duplicates all disappeared from the iTunes view.

    The time it takes to load is dependent on your network

  • "open with" menu suddenly showing multiple copies of all apps - HELP!!

    Recently, the "open with" menu that pops up when I right click a file on my desktop has started showing multiple copies of all applications, and it's getting WORSE! It started out a few weeks ago doing this with one extra copy of only one application, but now there many, many copies of all apps - different numbers of copies depending on the app.
    This is somehow related to the fact that I have an external G-Drive USB connected, which I am using as my backup drive. I copied everything onto this drive using SuperDuper. When the G-drive is connected, I get the error message below  if I pick the "wrong" copy of an app. When I eject the G-Drive, I STILL see multiple apps, but get no error message, and any one of the app copies I select will open properly.

    Thank you for any help!

    I'm glad you found a solution, please mark your post with a green correct, so that others can see the solution as well.

  • Searching mail shows multiple copies of the same email

    I use gmail through Mail, and I noticed there are multiple copies of the same e-mail (on further inspection, it looks like the copies are at different stages/edits) show up in my Trash folder. Is there any way to stop this?

    The same thing just happened in my Blackberry gmail folder... I sent an email from my computer and 20 copies showed up on my phone.

  • Why can't I print multiple copies?

    Newest MacBook Pro 13"  OS 10.6.6
    Acrobat Pro 9.4.2
    Printer Canon ip4800 series and i860
    Any idea why I cannot print more than one copy at a time?  The print dialog window accepts the entry for multiple copies, but only one gets printed at a time, no matter how many copies I request (the printer status shows 1 copy also).
    This has been going on for some time (I usually end up printing the sheets in Preview), but it is driving me nuts.  The printer has been replaced (for other reasons) and Acrobat updated repeatedly, but the problem persists.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    How does that manifest itself:
    you cannot change the number of copies on the Print panel?
    you can change the number of copies, but it prints only one?

  • Right-click Shows Multiple Copies of Programs

    Why are there multiple copies of programs when right-click on a file to Open With?
    There are FIVE Adobe Reader v8.1.1, FIVE EasyCrop, FIVE ImageWell, FIVE GraphicConverter, FIVE Makeabooklet choices showing and more.
    How can I clean up that list? And, of course, more importantly, am I doing anything obviously incorrectly? When I install prorams, they're all going to the Applications folder.
    Many thanks.

    Wow...This advice even cleared up the minor problem was having with Adobe loading (Adobe was telling me that I had an incomplete install - and to re-install).
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

  • Best way to show multiple copies of same data to different users

    Hi,
    I am new to configuring and using Oracle. I have an oracle db installed on a server machine and I loaded it with a set of data. I have multiple users who would all like to access the tables but they need to see unique copies of the data.
    What is my best approach? Should I create a new database instance? If so what is the best way to copy data to the new instance?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Each developer should copy from the 'base' schema to his own the tables he requires to do his work. Give each developer select privileges on the 'base schema' tables so he cannot change them. This way, the developer can refresh his data as needed on his own. Public synonyms for the base schema tables will enable developers to only have to copy tables they wish to modify.
    Creating a separate fully loaded schema for each developer is going to create a never ending load of work for you as developers will be constantly asking you to refresh their schemas. Alternatively, you could create an export of production on a schedule and let the developers do the import to their schema when they wish.
    Basically, these folks are developers and, IMNSHO, should be managing their own development schemas.

  • Apple Mail sending multiple copies of email. What's the cure?, Apple Mail sending multiple copies of email. What's the cure?, Apple Mail sending multiple copies of email. What's the cure?

    Recently, my Apple Mail has been sending from two to six copies of email, timed to the same minute. I've taken to using Thunderbied (which I don't prefer) to avoid it. My theory is that if I can reload Lion it might cure it, but since Lion only comes as a download, I don't know how.
    I've had MacKeeper in place since before the problem, but updating it became impossible. I emailed that program and was advised to trash it, do a cold reboot and then download it again. I did, and it hasn't helped.
    Any suggestions?

    MacKeeper is so bad, it has earnt the distinction of a User Tip of it's own
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3036
    After dragging the app to the trash, you will need to clean up using something like  AppTrap, AppZapper, AppCleaner etc. The official MacKeeper uninistaller leaves advert popups still appearing on your computer.

  • Apple tv under multiple account, same computer

    I have the apple TV connected under my account log in. My daughter purchased a movie under her account log in. How do i get the movie (from her account log in) to the apple TV (under my account log in)?
    Same idea applies to the photos in iphoto under different log in accounts.
    THank you!
    intel based iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    An Apple TV cannot sync to a sleeping or shutoff computer; the computer must be on and iTunes must be running. In the case of two accounts on the same computer, I've not seen whether that will work or not, but if it can, it would have to be using Fast User Switching and iTunes would have to be running in her account.
    You might instead just want to copy the movie from her iTunes library to yours (copy it first to a shared location like the Shared folder in the Users folder, then just drag it into the iTunes window under your account) and then authenticate your iTunes to her iTunes Store account. Then you don't have to worry about syncing or sharing with multiple accounts on the same system.
