Handling Compatibility issues IOS 4.0- 5.1 - ios

Question

I have created an app that is running great on 5.0 and above but when I test on devices lower I have ran into a few issues that I am unsure of how to tackle and correct.
The first big issue is when saving to core data I use a error method that I believe is apples default error method that is created when you make a core data model. The app just crashes when below 5.0 but if I block out the error code everything works fine. Below is the code used to find and error and handle it.
NSError *error;
if (![managedObjectContext save:&error]) { // crash here
// This is a serious error saying the record could not be saved.
// Advise the user to restart the application
}
//crash log below

Another issue I am running into is setting tintColor on UI objects such as the UISwitch. I have a settings controller that has several UISwitches and such which just about all have a tint color set on, but once agin anything below 5.0 crashes. How can I handle the two and not have to re-write the code just to be compatible with devices below 5.0.
shineSwitch = [[[UISwitch alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] autorelease];
[cell.contentView addSubview:shineSwitch];
cell.accessoryView = shineSwitch;
[shineSwitch addTarget:self action:#selector(switchChanged:) 
forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
shineSwitch.onTintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.61 blue:0.99 alpha:1.0];
//crash Log below
