Answer 1

In NSDateFormatter, "Y" and "y" specify different kinds of year that may start on different days. You want "y".

From the NSDateFormatter documentation:

A common mistake is to use YYYY. yyyy specifies the calendar year whereas YYYY specifies the year (of “Week of Year”), used in the ISO year-week calendar. In most cases, yyyy and YYYY yield the same number, however they may be different. Typically you should use the calendar year.

Answer 2

I don´t know if it would change anything but you could try

[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy:MM:dd"];
