NSUndoManager is in invalid state - objective-c

Working through the book Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (third edition) from Aaron Hillegass I am now at Chapter 9, at the end of section Adding Undo to RaiseMan. Hillegass tells you to add two methods to your class MyDocument and then build the app to see that undo/redo is added and working.
But, it isn't working (why else would I be here?). It says:
2012-11-27 19:55:16.231 RaiseMan[293:a0f] HIToolbox: ignoring exception 'undo: NSUndoManager 0x100188a30 is in invalid state, undo was called with too many nested undo groups' that raised inside Carbon event dispatch

in the console when I click undo or press cmd+z.
I found solutions for this online, but they are all about 'UndoGroups' or something similar.
I know that the exception is about nested undo groups, but I don't use them (AFAIK), I don't even know what they are.
I don't know what else information I should give, so please ask in the comments for code fragments etc.

For future readers:
Hillegass tells you to add 2 methods: -insertObject:inEmployeesAtIndex: and -removeObjectFromEmployeesAtIndex:. In the second method you have to do:
NSUndoManager *undo = [self undoManager];
[[undo prepareWithInvocationTarget:self] insertObject:p inEmployeesAtIndex:index];
But I did:
NSUndoManager *undo = [self undoManager];
[[undo prepareWithInvocationTarget:self] insertObject:p atIndex:index]; //atIndex: instead of inEmployeesAtIndex:

Did you override dataOfType or one of the writeToURL methods?

NSTextView, setString: raising exception

I've been trying to find out what's wrong with this piece of code: I have an NSTextView which string I want to update when the user clicks in one one my table views. For now on, I'm just trying to get it to display the string "Notes".
Any idea on what I am doing wrong ? I looked into beginEditing: and endEditing: without any success.

#property IBOutlet NSTextView* stickyNoteContainer;

// MyAppDelegate.m
-(void)updateOverview{

It turned out I was modifying the stringValue of a NSTextView while it was calling textDidEndEditing:, which resulted in a mismatched string count and a Range or index out of bounds exception thrown when this wrong count was being used inside NSTextView inner methods.
I just bypassed the problem by using an ivar #property BOOL canModifyTextViewString which would be set accordingly inside methods where modifying the string is unsafe/not possible.
NSTextView doesn't have setString as a class method

The exception is definitely caused by calling -[NSDictionary setObject:forKey:] in -[FRRMode saveObject:named:].
If you are indeed not using any dictionaries in this method, you should still look for setObject:forKey:. If you over-release an object, its memory address may be occupied by an NSDictionary which obviously does not respond to the selector.
It appears that -[FRRPreferencesController syncViewWithTempModel] is your method which is calling [self.modesTable selectRowIndexes:indexSet byExtendingSelection:NO]. Then, the table view dutifully changes its selection.
It also appears that your FRRPreferencesController object is an observer of the notification posted by the table view when its selection changes. That, in turn, calls -[FRRMode saveToUserDefaults] which calls -[FRRMode saveObject:named:] and that is trying to mutate an immutable dictionary.
From the name saveToUserDefaults, I wonder if you're grabbing a dictionary-typed value from NSUserDefaults and then trying to mutate it. NSUserDefaults does not hold or return mutable collections, even if you pass a mutable collection into its -setObject:forKey:. When you later retrieve it, you get an immutable copy.

self window is null but the Window outlet is correctly linked

In my subclass of NSWindowController, [self window] is null.
In my nib file THERE IS a link between the File's Owner (my subclass) and the Window View.
Why do I get this error ?
It stopped to work when I refactored the File Owner's class (the subclass of NSWindowController). I've updated it in the nib so I don't understand why it stopped to work.

How the NSWindowController is created:
CBWindowController *windowController = [[subClass alloc] init];
[windowController setRanAsModal:YES];
[windowController setDelegate:self];
[windowController setRootDocument:[NSApp mainWindowDocument]];
[windowController loadWindow];
[windowController centerOnMainWindow:sender];
[self window] must point to a valid window object. From your comments, it is not.
You must check and re-connect the window outlet, or, if there is no such outlet, ensure that a valid object is held in that variable.
Automatic refactoring doesn't appear to catch everything - so a search of your project for the old name would seem to be a worthwhile exercise after refactoring to prevent issues like this in the future.
I'm willing to bet you are initializing it wrong. You need to specifiy the NIB name when you initialize your class, like so:
CBWindowController *windowController =
[[subClass alloc] initWithWindowNibName:#"MyWindow" owner:nil];
Better yet, just fold that code into your window controller's init method.
Edit: Also, do NOT call loadWindow on your object, that method is called automatically when the window is accessed, as mentioned in the documentation.

NSWindow and Webview: app crashes with "unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x100514e90"

I have a WebView in a NSWindow and when I close the window and open it again the app crashes ;(
The window is called by a menu item button.
Here is the output:

mainFrame is a method on WebView
so
2011-10-22 15:55:32.544 Textis[17176:903] HIToolbox: ignoring exception '-[__NSCFType mainFrame]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x100514e90' that raised inside Carbon event dispatch
points to your WebView being released either by you explicitly or implicitly by the OS when the window is shut. You are hitting a dead pointer.
Not sure how you are setting up your window but you are probably assuming that the original WebView is still a valid object at a reopen.
Have a look in that direction.
