While I've used UIScrollView successfully in the past by manipulating it programmatically, I'm having trouble getting it to work by setting it up exclusively in Interface Builder.

I have a simple "about" page in my iPhone app. It has a UITextView, some icons, and links to my other apps. I have added all of these views to my UIScrollView, arranging them so that their total size is > 480. When I launch my app, the scrollview displays only the contents that fit on the screen, and nothing scrolls.

Is it possible to do this entirely via IB, or must I manipulate the contentSize via code?

You forgot to set the contentSize property of the UIScrollView. Strangely enough you can not do this from Interface Builder. You will have to do it from the view controller managing this scroll view.
