Answer 1

that is simple. You are releasing ParseHTML NSXMLPArsetwice.
-(void) imagePickerController: (UIImagePickerController*) reader
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary*) info
in the lastline
-(void)dealloc.
A object should be release only if you have earned the ownership. by retain copy etc. But you have allocated it only once so should release only once. But you did two releases .
You are also releasing NSXMLParser object parseHTML2 thrice. As per your code at any stage parseHTML2 will be released at least twice which is retained only once. ParseHTML1 objects case have been mentioned above

Answer 2

Turn on NSZombieEnabled. You are obviously releasing something you shouldn't be. When you do this, it will show you exactly where the bad access is occurring and you can trace back to where you are releasing the object. Check out this tutorial:

Best to learn how to fix it and what's wrong :)
