Converting NSString to NSDate is not working

I've read the DateFormatting guide and I'm still not able to get why my date conversion is not working as per requirement. For example:

NSString *str1 = @"12/20/2013 12:39:55 PM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFo = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

[dateFo setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/YYYY hh:mm:ss a"];
NSDate *serverDate1 = [NSDate date];
serverDate1 = [dateFo dateFromString:str1];

In return I'm getting date as "2013-01-05 07:09:55 +0000". I have tried a lot why NSDate is not returning correct date.

Any help would be appreciated.

NSString *dateWithInitialFormat = @"12/20/2013 12:39:55 PM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFo = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFo setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"];
NSDate *serverDate1 = [NSDate date];
serverDate1 = [dateFo dateFromString:dateWithInitialFormat];

This will get you your solution

Instead of YYYY use yyyy in your dateFormat:.

NSString *str1 = @"12/20/2013 12:39:55 PM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFo = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

[dateFo setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"];
NSDate *serverDate1 = [NSDate date];
serverDate1 = [dateFo dateFromString:str1];
