// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

   static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

   UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
   if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];

       cell.detailTextLabel.text = secondsString;
    }
    // Set up the cell...

    return cell;

You initialize your secondString with autoreleased string - so it is not guaranteed that it will be valid outside current scope. You need to retain it upon initialization (and don't forget to release later)

I would advise you to have a look at objective-c properties for accessing ivars.
