Instead of tanking it separate and capitalizing, try this. Simple 1 line code. 

NSString *text = [textField text];
NSString *capText = [text capitalizedString]; // capitalizes only first alphabet.

Set the Capitalization drop down under textfield attributes to Sentences.

Simple:

NSString *text = [textField text];
NSString *capitalized = [[[text substringToIndex:1] uppercaseString] stringByAppendingString:[text substringFromIndex:1]];

NSLog(@"%@ uppercased is %@", text, capitalized);

If you have set up the text field in a nib file, select the nib you will see various 'Text Input Traits' in the Text Field Attributes - the first one in the list deals with capitalisation.

see rjstelling's answer.....

In Interface Builder (or IB integrated into Xcode 4), if you click on UITextField you can set the text and keyboard behaviour.
