Answer 1

Here is a simple solution:

- (NSString *)stringWithDate:(NSDate *)date
{
  return [NSDateFormatter localizedStringFromDate:date
                                        dateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle
                                        timeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
}

Change the dateStyle and timeStyle to match your formatting requirement.
