Answer 1

That is because the object stored in the NSUserDefaults is not the mutableArray but a normal array.

- (IBAction)save:(id)sender {

   NSMutableArray *placesT = nil;
   NSArray *tempArray = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"placesT"];

   if (tempArray) {
      placesT = [tempArray mutableCopy];
   } else {
      placesT = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
   }

   [placesT addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", tagF.text]];

   NSUserDefaults *tUD = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
   [tUD setObject:placesT forKey:@"placesT"];
   [tUD synchronize];

   [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
   [placesT release];
}
