Answer 1

static MyClass *_sharedInstance;

+ (MyClass *)sharedMyClass
{
    @synchronized([MyClass class]) {
        if (_sharedInstance == nil)
            [[self alloc] init];

        return _sharedInstance;
    }

    return nil;
}

+(id) alloc
{
    @synchronized([MyClass class]) {
        NSAssert(_sharedInstance == nil, @"Attempted to allocate a second instance of MyClass.");
        _sharedInstance = [super alloc];
        return _sharedInstance;
    }

    return nil;
}

+ (id) allocWithZone:(NSZone *)zone 
{
    @synchronized([MyClass class]) {
        NSAssert(_sharedInstance == nil, @"Attempted to allocate a second instance of MyClass.");
        _sharedInstance= [super allocWithZone:zone];
        return _sharedInstance;
    }
    return nil; //on subsequent allocation attempts return nil
}

- (id) copyWithZone:(NSZone *)zone 
{
    return self;
}

- (id)retain
{
    return self;
}

- (NSUInteger)retainCount
{
    return NSUIntegerMax;
}

- (oneway void)release
{
    // Do nothing
}

- (id)autorelease
{
    return self;
}
