    NSString *Size=[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d",count];
    [dir1 setObject:Size forKey:@"SIZE"];

    [countArray addObject:dir1];
}
return countArray;

The error message is quite obvious, you'd have saved a few minutes if you googled it. Voting for close, there's no need for more dupes of this. — , Jun 12 '13 at 04:55

this NSMutableDictionary *dir1=[artistName objectAtIndex:i]; returns a NSDictionary object which turns your dir1 to the same type.

best way is to do something like this:

NSMutableDictionary *dir1=[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:[artistName objectAtIndex:i]];

or

NSMutableDictionary *dir1 = [artistName[i] mutableCopy];

This will ensure that dir1 will always be NSMutableDictionary.

hope this helps
