Answer 1

You set your formatter to expecting a string like @"05/26/2012 8:34:00". But you give it @"Sunday, June 6, 2010 5:00:00 AM CDT". The two formats are nothing alike. It doesn’t know how to parse it and so returns nil.

The format you want for the example string you give is EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss a zzz.
