Answer 1

You can use the built in activity indicator.

UIActivityIndicatorView *indicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge];
indicator.center = CGPointMake(alert.bounds.size.width / 2 , (alert.bounds.size.height) /2);
[indicator startAnimating];

simply add it as a subview in to your view.

You may use the UIActivityIndicator if you want to keep things simple. Or there are plenty of open source activity indicators that do a lot of fancy stuff in addition to just showing a spinning wheel. MBProgressHUD and SVProgressHUD are two neat implementations.
