Textfield return (null) no matter what - objective-c

Question

I have searched stackoverflow for similar problems and have found some, but they did not resolve my problem. I have 3 textfields (name,address,phone) from which I want to get the text. I have declared them in the (.h) file, also the #property, and then #synthesized them in the (.m) file. I have a IBAction for a button declared in the (.h) file and linked up correctly. Now when I push this button I want to get the values from the textfields but NSLog shows they are all (null) even before I do anything with the textfields. Its very simple code, i can't understand why it returns null.
//CoreDataViewController.h
#interface coreDataViewController : UIViewController {
UITextField *name;
UITextField *address;
UITextField *phone;
UILabel *status;
}
#property (strong, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *name;
#property (strong, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *address;
#property (strong, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *phone;
#property (strong, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *status;
- (IBAction) saveData;
#end
//CoreDataViewController.m
#import "coreDataViewController.h"
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#implementation coreDataViewController
#synthesize name=_name;
#synthesize phone=_phone;
#synthesize address=_address;
#synthesize status=_status;
- (void) saveData
{
NSLog(#"Name %# Address %# Phone %#",self.name.text,self.address.text,self.phone.text);
...some more code (commented out)....
}

Answer 1

IMO you have incorrectly synthesized iVars.
You use syntax:
synthesize name=_name;
but in the .h file you have:
#interface coreDataViewController : UIViewController {
UITextField *name;
UITextField *address;
UITextField *phone;
UILabel *status;
}
Change this part to:
#interface coreDataViewController : UIViewController {
UITextField *_name;
UITextField *_address;
UITextField *_phone;
UILabel *_status;
}

Answer 2

Just change below code
write synthesize like this
#synthesize name;
#synthesize phone;
#synthesize address;
#synthesize status;
ratherthen
#synthesize name=_name;
#synthesize phone=_phone;
#synthesize address=_address;
#synthesize status=_status;
