date AND time being entered is 1 hr or day off under iOS/Objective C

This is really odd, the code below takes self.danceTimeIn (its text state) and converts it to an actual time. The problem is that its coming up 1 hour LESS than what's entered. Meaning that if I enter 14:03 I'll get 13:03 in the database! The same thing is happening with the date version of this code

++++++++++++++++++++++

TIME

NSString *danceTimeIn = self.danceTimeIn.text;
NSDateFormatter *timeFormatIn = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[timeFormatIn setDateFormat:@"HH:mm"];
NSDate *timeIn = [timeFormatIn dateFromString: danceTimeIn];

DATE

NSString *danceDateValue = self.danceDate.text;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString: danceDateValue];

++++++++++++++++++++++

Anyone ???

It depends on the timezone:-

first Check your local time zone 

NSTimeZone *tz=[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"GMT"];
[dateformat setTimeZone:tz];

and then set your date accordingly.

Time zone may be causing this problem.Try 

[dateFormat setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"]];

May be this will help.

Try using this. NSDateFormater change date according to locale of your device settings, if you set locale properlyl, you will get proper date. Try if this works :) 

NSString *danceTimeIn = self.danceTimeIn.text;
NSDateFormatter *timeFormatIn = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[timeFormatIn setDateFormat:@"HH:mm"];
NSLocale *usLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"];
[timeFormatIn setLocale:usLocale];
NSDate *timeIn = [timeFormatIn dateFromString: danceTimeIn];
