I running the latest Xcode on Lion. The example code in Chapter 5 won't compile as is. When I make what appear to be appropriate corrections, it compiles but crashes.

On page 141 in fetchedResultsController I changed inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext to inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext

On page 142 in tableView... I changed NSManagedObject *managedOject = [fetchedResultsConroller objectAtIndexPath:indexPath]; to NSManagedObject *managedOject = [self.fetchedResultsConroller objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];

I also tried __fetchedResultsConroller, which is what Xcode suggested.

Once I got it to compile, it dies with "executeFetchRequest:error: A fetch request must have an entity".

I put a break point on [fetchRequest setEntity:entity]; on page 141. At that point entity is a zero pointer. I'm guessing the initialization of the pointer in the previous line didn't work. That's where I changed managedObjectContext to self.managedObjectContext

I also checked the online code to find it is the same. At least the problem let's me practice my debugging skills.

Post the code where you have made the changes, and/or send your project to

and I should be able to point your in the right direction.

I fixed the execution problem. I didn't name the entity correctly in the model. It still may be the case that the example code needs to be corrected to compile cleanly.
