Objective C JSON not leaving out first entry

Question

Having an issue using a table view downloading data from a JSON file. The JSON has 4 entries and I want my code to ignore the first entry and just put the ones after the first one into the table view. With my code below it is getting the full 4 entries from the JSON and placing them all into the table view. I have tried everything but cannot seem to work my head around this.

Thanks,

If I understand your question correctly you just wanted to skip the first element/entry from the array. why not just use Tutortrackinbud

sample:

 -(void)downloadreviews{

   //<fetch data>...

        NSError *error = nil;
        TutordizDict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:0 error:&error];
       NSMutableArray *temp = [[TutordizDict objectForKey:@"tutific"]mutableCopy];

        if([temp count] > 0){ // if there is an entry should we remove it, if we should just perform this; otherwise if we only remove if there are more than 1 change condition to 1
           [temp removeObjectAtIndex:0];
        }

        Tutortrackinbud = [temp copy];
        NSUInteger *elements = [Tutortrackinbud count];
        NSLog(@"Number of Shows : %d", elements);

        if (elements == 0)
        {
            //[udropofftrack removeAllObjects];
            Tutortrackinbud=nil;
            [_tableViewObject reloadData];
           // self.noorder.hidden=FALSE;

        }


        else{

            NSString *success = [Tutortrackinbud[0] valueForKey:@"success"];
            if ([success  isEqual: @"0"])
            {
                UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Connection Error" message:@"Your application failed to connect to uDropOff servers. Please update your application in the App Store." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
                [alert show];
                return;

            }
            else
            {

                {
                    for (int i = 1 ; i < [Tutortrackinbud count]; i++){
                        {
                          TutordaObj = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    [_tableViewObject reloadData];
}`
