A:
I do that the following way:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Get documents folder
NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"MyFolder"];
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:dataPath])
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:dataPath attributes:nil]; //Create folder

Sorry - was a typo there - must append @"/MyFolder", not @"MyFolder" to a documents path.

You might want to change the third line toNSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingString:@"/MyFolder"];since NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains doesn't return trailing slashes.

I fixed the code to use the more correct "stringByAppendingPathComponent", which does the right thing regardless of either input string having a "/" or not.
