Thanks for posting the code. Generally, unrecognized selector errors are not tough, but we need to know which line of code is triggering it, which will help us understand which object is receiving the message, and what the selector is. Can you post a dump of the error messages?

Read about Objective-C selectors here.

Generally speaking, Interface Builder is a great tool for… umm, building interfaces. But you do have to be careful about connections and making sure everything is still linked up after making changes to your code or layout.
