You can do it quite easily by using the following code :

NSString *oldText,*newText,*myString; 




- (IBAction)addNewItem:(id)sender {
[self updateTextField];

}

    - (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    [textField resignFirstResponder];

    return YES;
}



 -(void)updateTextField
{
    oldText=displayTextView.text;
    newText=entryTextField.text;
    myString = [newText stringByAppendingFormat:@"\n"];
    myString = [myString stringByAppendingString:oldText];
    displayTextView.text=myString;


}

try this

When you add \n to the string, it will be converted to new line symbols

  aTextView.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\n%@",aTextView.text,@"Second Line"];
