  1. Do you get any error message in the console?
  2. What lesson/video are you on exactly?

I'm confused, is your text blank or is the crystal ball not showing? Lastly, can you paste your code into something like http://pastebin.com/

When I launch ios simulator the User Interface is blank and I get a message from xcode http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ojm5pd&s=4 What code you need and where do i get it?

Another issue is that I don't see the ViewControl.h the same as the video; http://teamtreehouse.com/library/ios-development/build-an-iphone-crystal-ball-app/learning-the-language/creating-a-property

What is different about your ViewController.h and the one in the video?

Also, okay I understand. Your application is crashing and not even starting at all which is why you are seeing the white screen.

Care to share what the issue was? I think a "blank" screen means that the application didn't start successfully.

Sorry, I read "I solved the second issue. Thanks" as "I solved the issue. Thanks"

So you are still getting an error. Can you paste your ViewController.h and ViewController.m in pastebin.com?

Are you still getting the error from the image you posted earlier... or is that gone? I'm still pretty new to iOS. I've been very slowly learning it for the past few months. Only when I have free time.
