 <p>You should not place the outlet in the Application Delegate. Your app should contain a root view controller (created automatically if you're using a single view application template), which should handle anything related to the application's initial view. Once you have one, open the storyboard in the editor. Open an assistant editor using the buttons along the top, and use the drop-down menu at the top of the assistant editor to open up the header file of the controller. Select the scroll view, and control-drag from it into the controller's interface. Xcode will prompt you to make an outlet, allowing you to change the name. Let's use <code>scrollView</code> for the name. Select <code>weak</code> for the memory management, since it's already being retained by its superview. Xcode should automatically synthesize accessors, and now you can access the property using <code>self.scrollView</code> from within the controller's instance methods. Alternatively, you can select the scroll view and set its tag in the attributes inspector to any unique number, like 4. Then, you can use <code>[self.view viewWithTag:4]</code> to get a reference to it.</p>
