Answer 1

You need use your NSDateFormatter for convert [NSDate date] to string. Modify your code to below

NSDateFormatter *formatter2 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter2 setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm"];
NSString *str = [formatter2 stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSDate *changeDate2=[formatter2 dateFromString:str];
