You can set an background image without any code    Just press the button you want an image to in Main storyboard  then  in the utilities bar to the right  press the attributes inspector and set the background to the image you want   Make sure you have the picture you want in the supporting files to the left

When setting an image in a tableViewCell or collectionViewCell  this worked for me   Place the following code in your cellForRowAtIndexPath or cellForItemAtIndexPath     Obtain pointer to cell  Answer assumes that you ve done this  but here for completeness   CheeseCell  cell    collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier   cheeseCell  forIndexPath indexPath        Grab the image from document library and set it to the cell   UIImage  myCheese    UIImage imageNamed   swissCheese png     cell cheeseThumbnail setImage myCheese forState UIControlStateNormal     NOTE  xCode seemed to get hung up on this for me  I had to restart both xCode and the Simulator  it worked properly   This assumes that you ve got cheeseThumbnail set up as an IBOutlet    and some other stuff    hopefully you re familiar enough with table collection views and can fit this in   Hope this helps
