fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

I'm getting an error saying that the playlistImageView0 variable is set to "nil" and the app subsequently crashes. I've compared my code against Prasan's and everything is exactly the same so I'm guessing something isn't "hooked up" correctly in the storyboard. Can anyone help?

I ran into a similar issue. Check to make sure you changed the seque.identifier's in both locations. I noticed that I only changed one. Hope this helps.
