Reload UITableview data in cell out of view

Question

[self.countryList reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:6 inSection:0], nil] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone]; // or NO ;)

My problem is that I have a tableview with 10+ items with only 6 cells in view, but when the data is loaded and the table is scrolled cell 7 has no data in it. How can I reload the data in that 1 cell?

The code above is what I am using and it doesn't work!

---EDIT---

if (cell == nil) {  

    cell =[[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:identifier]autorelease];
    //[cell setBackgroundColor: [UIColor clearColor]];




    mainLabel = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(52.0, 0.0, 200.0, 20.0)] autorelease];           
    mainLabel.tag = 1;          
    mainLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0];            
    mainLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;          
    mainLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    mainLabel.opaque = YES;
    mainLabel.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:mainLabel];

    revenue = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(52.0, 20.0, 150.0, 20.0)] autorelease];            
    revenue.tag = 3;            
    revenue.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0];          
    revenue.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;            
    revenue.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    revenue.opaque = YES;
    revenue.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:revenue];

    promos = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(252.0, 20.0, 150.0, 20.0)] autorelease];

    photo.tag = 2;

    NSString*promostext=[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"promos:%@",[[(arrayResults*)[tweets objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] mypromos]stringValue] ];

    [updatestext release];

}

This is typically a misuse in the recycle/reuse mechanism of cellForRowAtIndexPath: .

Cells are reused when you scroll to avoid allocating too much UITableViewCells. So you need to set the content of the cell in cellForRowAtIndexPath: in both case, either if the cell just have been allocated (cell==nil) or if the cell has been reused (cell!=nil).
