It's not clear if you want the Months or Weekdays from the question?

The month:

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMMM"];`

The Weekday:

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE"];

Both:

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"'Weekday:'EEEE  'Month:'MMMM "];

I refer to this list when I need to know the formats: http://www.alexcurylo.com/blog/2009/01/29/nsdateformatter-formatting/

Your question is about weekdays. Your code is about months. Confusion.

If you chase the links from the class doc you'll get to the unicode formatting documentation.

Also, the stringWithFormat:@"%@" in your last line is superfluous.

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"eee"];
NSString *weekday = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:today];
weekdayField.text = weekday;

@Mc.Lover You shoud read the documentation first. Check out Managing Weekday Symbols in that.

Change this format :

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM"];

to this :

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMMM"];
