Answer 1

Because your neededDate will be equal to "1970/01/01 14:45".

You need to set correct year and date.

You can get current year, month and say, for example, using next approach:

NSDateComponents *components = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSLog(@"Current year: %d", components.year);
NSLog(@"Current month: %d", components.month);
NSLog(@"Current day: %d", components.day);
