However, if I skip the NSThread instantiation step, then my NSTimer starts working again.

I have also tried:

[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] addTimer:myNSTimer forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];

in my new view, but this does not work either.

What should I do to get an NSTimer to work after an NSThread completes?

Your notification is getting dispatched to the wrong thread. If you can target 10.5, do this:

[[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] addTimer:myNSTimer forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];

If you must target earlier versions of MacOS, there is a lot of documentation on re-dispatching notifications back to a specific thread... although it's much more complicated than the above
and I don't have the links at the moment...
