Answer 1

UIAlertView *myAlertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Your title here!" message:@"this gets covered" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"OK", nil];
UITextField *myTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12.0, 45.0, 260.0, 25.0)];
[myTextField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[myAlertView addSubview:testTextField];
CGAffineTransform myTransform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0.0, 130.0);
[myAlertView setTransform:myTransform];
[myAlertView show];
[myAlertView release];

Answer 2

This method is private, you should not use it (your app will be rejected). Maybe they removed or renamed it in the latest SDK. For an alternative, see

You can use http://github.com/enormego/EGOTextFieldAlertView. It gives you those private methods, in a subclass of UIAlertView. This way you don't have to change your code at all.
