Get error when getting current date using NSDateComponents

I'm trying to get the current date with NSDateComponents. (I will then be changing the weeks, months, etc.) Here is the code:

NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar component:(NSCalendarUnitCalendar |
                                                        NSCalendarUnitYear |
                                                        NSCalendarUnitMonth |
                                                        NSCalendarUnitDay) fromDate:[NSDate date]];

Xcode gives me the following warning:

Incompatible integer to pointer conversion initializing 'NSDateComponents *__string' with an expression of type...'

And Error:

Implicit conversion of 'NSInteger' (aka 'long') to 'NSDateComponents *' is disallowed with ARC

NSDateComponents *components = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSWeekdayCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]];

Use component to add 1 unit you want to access. Use components for more than one unit.

You are calling the component method (which returns a single numeric component value), and you meant to call components (which returns the full NSDateComponents object).
