Timer not stopping

If the user clicks the button to start the timer twice, the stop button does not then invalidate the timer. How can I stop this?

you could disable the button when the user presses it and enable it again when the timer times out to keep them from being able to press it more than once

when the user presses button

 [button setEnabled:NO];

when the timer times out

[button setEnabled:YES];
