try this...
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
[UIView setAnimationRepeatCount:1];
[UIView setAnimationRepeatAutoreverses:YES];
CGPoint pos;
pos.x = 241.0f;
pos.y = 20.0f;
mover.center = pos;
[UIView commitAnimations];
});
