Answer 1

all the IBOutlet objects are loaded in viewDidLoad,if you are calling the method in viewDidLoad then that action not performed because before the objects are loaded we can't do anything that's whybetter to write that code in

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
//write here
} 

then it works fine.
