TableViewCell position is off

Hi, could someone guide to the right direction for fixing the position on my TableViewCell. Currently it looks like this:

That happens because in iOS 7 the status bar is transparent and views no longer float under it, they will appear beneath it. you can fix it by adding a tableHeader to your tableView to fill in some space

UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x, self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size,width, 20)];
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView;

haha thanks I try to be. another option is to adjust the insets, but the header works just as well

self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(20.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
