I know, this is a stupid stupid question but after one day trying everything I've seen searching, I am uncapable of moving a UILabel, the code is this one:

CGRect frame = self.label_total.frame;
frame.origin.x = 500; // new x coordinate
frame.origin.y = 500; // new y coordinate
self.label_total.frame = frame;

it works if I insert it in a IBAction, but I want to insert it in viewDidLoad, but It doesnt work. Please help me.
 
Code: 
[self.label_total setFrame:CGRectMake(500,500,CGRectGetWidth(self.label_total.frame),CGRectGetHeight(self.label_total.frame))];

Something like that I would do.
Also, are you sure the label is already available in the view did load, did you try.

Code: 
NSLog(@"show me the label: %@", self.label_total);
 
I've just tried:

[self.label_total setFrame:CGRectMake(500,500,CGRectGetWidth(self.label_total.frame),CGRectGetHeight(self.label_total.frame))];

but as with my example it works inside an IBAction when I click the button, but if I insert it in viewDidLoad, nothing, arggg

I've insert the NsLog before and after the setFrame and this is the result

Any ideas please?

Here you can obviously see that your frame is 0,0,0,0, so it's not even on screen..
When you make the label, do you set an given frame for it? I don't really understand the issue :s

What do you want to achieve, have an label from XIB or made by code have a certain frame on viewDidLoad?
 
Sorry I didn't mention that the UILabel is on the storyboard


What I want to do is: I have a UILabel on the storyboard, but according some factor, it has to appear in deifferents places, ¿do I explain right?

and sorry for my ignorance

That's basically exactly equivalent to what the OP posted, except more complicated and harder to read ;)

This is a guess, but I suspect that it doesn't work in viewDidLoad because the storyboard layout is occurring after viewDidLoad is called.

You could try it in viewWillAppear: instead?

Or, perhaps, turn off "Use Autolayout" for your view controller in interface builder?
