differences between xcode interface builder and IOS simulator

I'm new to Xcode and I'm having a problem between interface builder and iphone simulator

As you see below, I set the imageview size for simulator, but some buttons places are changed, button texts disappeared or even buttons disappeared.

I just open a new project and add buttons like the image below, then run the project. Same thing again! I'm doing something wrong?

xcode version is: 4.5.2

Ios simulator version is 6.0

Please make validate your design by clicking on "Apply retina 4 form Factor" button at the bottom of view controller upon selection...

if you click on that button, It will change to simulator size and you can check the design

Your interface builder is set for the resolution of an iPhone 5. Your simulator is on the resolution of an iPhone 4S. In the Simulator menu bar select Device -> Hardware - iPhone 5 (Retina) and you will see your additional buttons.

Here is a pretty good tutorial which explains how to support both the iPhone 5 and <= iPhone 4S screen resolutions. Working with iOS 6 Auto Layout Constraints in Interface Builder

It looks like your view is for a 4" screen but you are running in the 3.5" simulator. You will probably just need to play with the autoresize a bit to make it work correctly.
