and i got retainCount 6 & some times 7

Answer 1

Strange as it may seem, retainCount is not useful at all for counting your retains. Things get retained for other reasons than you calling [myObject retain] or [[MyClass alloc] init] etc.

It's better to ignore retainCount and learn the memory management rules. retainCount will make you more confused. If you're developing only for iOS 5, it's better to forget about memory management and use ARC.
