Answer 1

You are iterating in wrong manner-
Use -
MyGiftsDict = [[dic objectForKey:#"response"] objectForKey:#"gifts"];
And then iterate over dictionary step by step.
You need to use something like -
for(NSString *key in [MyGiftsDict allKeys])
{
[MyGiftsnamearray addObject:[MyGiftsDict objectForKey:key]];
}

Answer 2

Gifts is an NSDictionary in itself. It's not an NSArray! You don't need that for loop. Use simply
[MyGiftsNameArray addObject:[MyGiftsArray objectForKey:#"name"];
et cetera.

Answer 3

I don't think you will need the forcycle.
