If you are using Interface Builder, ensure autoresizing is set properly in the Size Inspector. If you creating the UITextView in code, make sure you set the frame to be large enough and that the view's parent (and it's parent) are also large enough. For simplicity, add the view to the window directly, and then move inward from there.

To move a view to its superview:

- (void)moveViewToSuperview:(UIView *)view
{
    UIView *newSuperview = [[view superview] superview];
    [view removeFromSuperview];
    [newSuperview addSubview:view];
    [newSuperview bringSubviewToFront:view];
}
