I would like to create the following navigation
I have a tab bar program build with storyboard
and I have a View controller with buttons
when I click a button A navigation controller is called
Right now I have made all the connections and everything works fine but..
in order to create the change from the button to the table view I am using modal segue and that removes my tab bar.
I know that push will not work cause its not a navigation but how can I work this out?
I had the same problem but I realized that the best option is do it using a push segue. It's the best option because when you have a table view into a tab bar item it's more usability, it's what customer want. I'm sorry for not solution your problem but I strongly recomend you to use push.

When I drag to the next view controller to add a segue the new view controller has no navigation bar with a back button. I thought that was the default when you add a segue to a new VC. I'm also not able to drag a navigation bar to the top of the table view controller. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
Maybe the problem is the kind of segue that you are you using. The Segue type should be "Show (e.g Push)". Click on the segue and in the right panel go to the "attributes inspector" (the 4th one). And here you can check the type.
A view controller like in your case only shows a navigation bar by default, when the view controller itself or one of its parents (connected by a push-segue) is embedded in a navigation controller. Obviously, the navigation controller must not have hidden the navigation bar.
So, you either forgot to put a navigation controller into play or your segue is modal and not push.
Well, it's two years since you asked your question, but when it happened to me, I realized it was because at one point, I had accidentally created my segue as a different kind of segue (a detail one, I think), but changing it back to a "Show" segue didn't actually change it's behavior. When I found the segue in my storyboard xml, it was listed as a "Show" segue, but with a different custom action that suggested it was going to do something completely different.
Anyhoo, deleting and recreating the segue in Xcode fixed it. I probably could have also deleted that custom action in the xml file, too.
I am new to iOS development and have not tried this programmatically yet. I would prefer to get this working in a storyboard.
I'm following this somewhat outdated tutorial from XCode 4.5 in XCode 6.1 to create a series of views connected by one navigation controller.

Once I create the second view controller, I am unable to double click the navigation bar to change the name and I am unable to add a bar button to it.
I have a Segue going from bar button "Item" from view 1 to 2. Notice in the "View Controller Scene" there is no navigation item. If I add any elements to the view controller they fall under "View" and not under "View Controller", unlike view controller 1 where it falls under "one".
Is this a limitation on XCode? Am I using the wrong Segue (Show)? Is there a hidden setting or customization I'm missing?
I actually have this working for 2 view controllers and failing the 3rd in a separate project but I don't know what I did to do that so I'm pretty sure it's possible I just cannot reproduce..
EDIT: Workaround Instead of the new adaptive SHOW segue, use the deprecated PUSH segue, add the bar button items, then change back to the adaptive SHOW segue.
Try adding a Navigation Item to the controller and it should work properly
I'm new in Objective-C, and even more using storyboards. This being said I'm trying to use a bar button item within UITabBarController and UINavigationController as can you see in the image below.
But once I run the project in simulator this item is not showing. I would appreciate a non programmatically solution if it's posible.
Okay, so the way to do this:
When you create your tab view controller. You have to add a navigation controller that will handle each tab.
Tab View Controller --> navigation controller --> View Controller 1.
Then add the bar button item to view controller 1. Then go ahead and add the segues.
Now, still it won't show up.
But, if you go to your code for your view controller 1: Add a reference from the storyboard of your bar button item into your View Controller 1 file. Then, in ViewWillAppear():
self.tabBarController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = _btnNewContact;
From there, it will show up and the segue you have configured in your storyboard should work perfectly! =)
After I spent a while trying to get the best way to do it I finally did that I should have done since begin. Read official apple documentation.
Parameters
viewController
The view controller that is pushed onto the stack. This object cannot be an instance of tab bar controller and it must not already be on the stack.
In other words, my approach is just a bad design.
I have built some view controllers in storyboard like in the picture below
I already implemented the data inside them, modal segue is used for transitions in between. Now I just realise when I push "back" button, previous view won't be properly loaded. I figure I should switch to navigation controller and add those controllers in stack instead. But I don't know how to go from where I am now.
I think I should make changes programmatically because I found building navigation controller in storyboard won't have much variation in UI design (at least I don't know how to implement existing pages in that way). So what should I do to implement programmatically? Please help me, thanks!
Select Category View Controller and go to menu: Editor > Embed In > Navigation Controller. Then change segues style from Modal to Push.
I enabled o UITabView on the bottom of the screen, and that works, but the rest of my buttons on the app screen suddenly stopped working. Would anyone know why that might happen? I was using push segueys for them.
I think the issue may be that originally I have a NavigationController that I use on the app, and then the UITabBar controller interferes with it.
Thanks!
As per Apple recommendation, UITabBarController should only be the root controller of an app. I think what you are doing is you are having the UITabBarController nested in your UINavigationController, and that won't work.
You can instead select your navigation controller and embed it in a UITabBarController. (I don't have XCode with me now, but I think there's an option in the menu called Embed in -> Tab Bar Controller. You can search for it in Help.)
(If you need the tab bar controller to be nested under nav controller, I believe you need to use some buttons to fake its effect.)
If you only need a tab bar but not tabbar controller, then don't use tabbar controller.
