Parse.com: How to retrieve multiple users profile image

I have an array called allMyContacts, it stores PFUser objects (the friends of the current user). I could already list them in a table view, but i can't retrieve their profile images and load into the table view cells. I'm storing the profile images in the pre-defined user class as a PFFile. When i run the app it crashes with this error: -[UIImageView setFile:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance . So it's sure that something is wrong with the PFFile *file, but i can not figure it out. Could somebody explain me what did i wrong? Thanks.

-(UITableViewCell *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    FriendsCell *cell = [self.tableViewTwo dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"friendsDevCell"];
    PFUser *user = [self.allMyContact objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    PFFile *file = [user objectForKey:@"imageFile"];

    cell.profilImageView.file = file;

    [cell.profilIView loadInBackground];

    cell.mySimpleContactUsernameLabel.text = user.username;

    return cell;
  }

Unless you have a custom file parameter in you profilIView, I don't believe you can call cell.profileImageView.file directly. You may want to try this:

```cell.profilImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:file];

I get this warning for this: "Incompatible pointer types sending 'PFFile *' to parameter of type 'NSString *'" . I'm sure that the .file is correct, i use it elsewhere. I think the table view is the problem.
