I have a timer that I set in awakeFromNib but it's never firing:

Have you made sure you're running an event loop? NSTimers are attached to a run loop ("scheduled") and you can't expect any timers to fire unless you return control to a run loop (NSApplicationMain() sets up a run loop automatically and calls your menu item actions etc. from there).

If you are running your own run loop (e.g. in a modal dialog panel), you must make sure the timer has been scheduled to run in the proper run loop mode. There are different modes for "normal", "modal" and "tracking the mouse", for instance, and by default timers are only scheduled to run in the first mode.
