The bummer message says to allocate and initialize UIImageView and UIImage.
// The following code is excerpted from
// the viewDidLoad method of THViewController.m
// Fix the code below
// Hint: First create an instance of UIImage
UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"backgroundImage"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:backgroundImage];
[self.view insertSubveiw:imageView atIndex:0];

42,016 Pointsthis is the code thats in the challenge when you first start:
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:@"background"];
looking at the code above, the name of the image is assumed to be "background", not "backgroundImage". you need to change your imageNamed call to use @"background"
also remove the line that adds it as a subview, you wont pass with that line in there:
UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"background"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:backgroundImage];
