I've written an application with a very tenuous grasp on programming fundamentals and Cocoa specifics. It compiled and ran fine last week under the old version of the dev tools. I just installed the Dec dev tools and went to work on my project and now I have all sorts of errors that prevent the app from running (it builds fine, with the exception of some warnings).

Here is the console output when running the app:

2002-12-31 10:34:54.010 CocoaMed[2254] *** Assertion failure in -[NSTableView _locationOfRow:], TableView.subproj/NSTableView.m:486
2002-12-31 10:34:54.043 CocoaMed[2254] An uncaught exception was raised
2002-12-31 10:34:54.061 CocoaMed[2254] Invalid parameter not satisfying: (index >= 0) && (index <= numRows)
2002-12-31 10:34:54.075 CocoaMed[2254] *** Uncaught exception: <NSInternalInconsistencyException> Invalid parameter not satisfying: (index >= 0) && (index <= numRows)

CocoaMed has exited due to signal 5 (SIGTRAP).

Also, I'm getting some 'invalid reciever type (Id *)' errors that I didn't get before in this section of code:

Code:
- (void)checkForNew {
    NSEnumerator *queryEnumerator = [rootFolderArray objectEnumerator];
   
    id *nextItem;
    while ((nextItem = [queryEnumerator nextObject])) {
        if ([nextItem isMemberOfClass:[query class]]) {
            [nextItem checkForNewRefs];
        }
    }
    [folderOutline reloadData];
    
    [lastCheckedIndicator setStringValue:[[NSCalendarDate calendarDate] descriptionWithCalendarFormat:@"%a %m/%d/%y %I:%M %p"]];
    checkForNewTimer=[[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:3600
                                                      target:self
                                                    selector:@selector(checkForNew)
                                                    userInfo:nil
                                                     repeats:NO] retain];
}

I'm hoping that someone can glance at this output and point me in the direction of what has changed in this version of the dev tools so that I can solve the problem.

thanks,

I'm guessing this is a problem line. A variable of type "id" is a reference to an object. Therefore you do not need the * symbol. Change this to "id nextItem" and it should work fine. This is in contrast to when you have a variable of a specific class type, like NSObject *theObject, because NSObject is a class type so to create a reference to that object you need the *. An id is a reference so it is redundant.
