    I found the problem…

    -(IBAction)start:(id)sender{
    
    
    countDownView.hidden=NO;
    
    timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1 target:self selector:@selector(updateElapsedTime) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
    secondsLeft=30;
    
    }
    
    
    
     -(void) updateCountdown {
    int hours, minutes, seconds;
    
    
    hours = secondsLeft / 3600;
    minutes = (secondsLeft % 3600) / 60;
    seconds = (secondsLeft %3600) % 60;
    countDownlabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds];
    
    }
