I have a custom UITableView using UITableViewCells. Each UITableViewCell has 2 buttons. Clicking these buttons will change an image in a UIImageView within the cell.

Is it possible to refresh each cell separately to display the new image? Any help is appreciated.

Once you have the indexPath of your cell, you can do something like:

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:indexPathOfYourCell, nil] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates];

In Xcode 4.6 and higher:

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPathOfYourCell] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates];

You can set whatever your like as animation effect, of course.
