You might have a method that is executed when the button is tapped where you add the item to your table view. Lets say the method is called didClickButton. Have a Bool variable say isItemAdded indicating the status of the item. Set it to NO initially. when button is pressed check if its NO. If NO then proceed and set it to YES else display "Alert already added"

-(void)didClickButton
{
if(!isItemAdded)
{
//code to add to tableview
isItemAdded = YES;
}
else
{
//code to show message or alert
}
}

Initiaize a global counter and use it to count the taps by incrimienting it inside the method that is called by your rightBarButtonItem.

int tapsCtr =  0; 

Put this code inside your method:

tapsCtr++; 
if(tapsCtr > 1){
      NSLog(@"User tapped more than once"); 
      tapsCtr = 0;
}
