unrecognized selector sent to instance... Source code link inside - iphone

Question

I'm going crazy with this my little app... Please help me!!!
this is the source code of the app: Smoking.zip
It only saves a .dat file with an NSMutableArray.
Now, the first time you will launch the app, try to click the cigarette button sometimes: Everything should working fine.
Ok, now close the app, re-open it, and click again on the button. This time the app will crash with the "unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x5d18d60" error.
I was sure the problem was in saving the data, because when i commented the line "[theData writeToFile:dataFilePath atomically:YES];" in the "saveData" method the error disappeared.
Later i discovered that it appears again if i try to read the data from the NSMutableArray.
Please take a moment to check my project and help me, beacause i'm going crazy about that!!
Here's some code:

Okay, I am an iPhone newbie so take my suggestion in stride. You could try creating an NSData object, initializing it with theData, and then calling writeToFile on the new NSData object instead of the NSMutableData object.
