can you copy and paste your code in. it will be easier to look at it if its just text and not a picture. also you must upload images to an image host like imgur.com before you can use them in a link. you can link an image from your local computer.

Preston Harris you are missing colons between your imageNamed method calls and the name of the images

you have

//notice there is not a colon between imageNamed and @"CB0001"
 self.backgroundImageView.animationImages = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
                                                [UIImage imageNamed@"CB00001"],

you need

 self.backgroundImageView.animationImages = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
                                                [UIImage imageNamed:@"CB00001"],

add a colon to all your imageNamed method calls
