Hi Jeremy,
Are you *sure* your IBOutlets are non-nil? In IB it's easy to
accidentally leave them unconnected. Compounding this, you can send
any message to nil without getting an error or exception (either good
or bad, depending on your worldview).

Ok, now I feel stupid with the B. But ok. I thought I got what you
are saying, band I am looking at my book, and it doesn't seem to be
helping me out much. I am not getting any warnings at all for this
code:
- (void)showLyrics:(id)sender
{
[lyricsWindow setTitle:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ Lyrics",
[[iTunes currentTrack] name]]];
[lyricsText setTitle:[[iTunes currentTrack] lyrics]];
[window showWindow:lyricsWindow];
[lyricsWindow makeKeyWindow];
}
But what is boggling my mind, is why it isn't working. And
lyricsWindow is an IBOutlet id that has the HUD window attached to
it. lyricsText is an IBOutlet with the text box attached to it. So,
any help would actually help me out! A bunch.

I have an IBOutlet id lyricsText; which is connected to a text field

MainMenu.nib file. I would like to (on command) open up the HUB
window, change it's title, and change the text of lyricsText. Now I
feel stupid asking, but can anyone help me out?
First, it's HUD, not HUB. ;-)
Secondly, this is what one would typically use an NSWindowController
to do. What you're describing is really easy to do (-[NSWindow
makeKeyAndOrderFront:], -[NSWindow setTitle:], -[NSTextField
setTitle:]), and is made even easier with an NSWindowController
subclass.
I suggest re-reading the model-view-controller conceptual
documentation, and then read about NSWindowController.
