Modal tabs in story board - ios

Ive set up my new iOS app using storyboard with a tab controller with navigation views coming from it this works fine in storyboard as you can obviously create navigation controllers where you can provide the tab icon/text. What I want however is to have a couple of tabs which will launch modal actions (settings, add new record etc). If I try and connect a couple of views as model you don't get the tabs so I clearly missing something. I've looked at maybe subclassing the navigation controller but apparently that is frowned upon. Any suggestions appreciated.

Swift loading ViewController on TableViewCell Design

As I understand it, one of the best ways of handling opening Views upon clicking a particular tableViewCell is by pushing to the ViewController.
However, this apparently only works if you only embed the ViewController in a NavigationController.
Would you then have to embed each individual ViewController in an Navigation Controller?
This sounds sort of repetitive and tedious - is this good practice?
This tutorial uses navigation controllers on all of the view controllers, but doesn't really say why
I just use one navigation controller, and it works fine for me. I've used one and had segues between multiple viewControllers including several tables as well as using buttons in some places, and still been able to navigate super easily. In main.storyboard, just select the first view that's going to be a part of it, then go to Editor>Embed In>Navigation Controller. Then, you just add in your segues (I believe they should all be Show(e.g. Push) segues to work correctly)
When running your app, there should be a bar at the top which can be used to go back (you can also edit the bar by adding other buttons or changing the color and title).
Here's some documentation from apple

Navigation Controller & Tab Controller

I'm new to iOS development and I'm feeling kind of lost here.
I'm working on an app idea where I have login/sign up (using Parse) embedded in Navigation controller and then once the user has logged in I want to integrate tab controller as the app interface should be tabbed.
But for some reason it doesn't work properly.
Here's what my storyboard look like:
The problem is that once I login and it redirects me to the Tab controller I see this:
I have NO idea why. Any ideas?
EDIT: Added original images to message
UPDATE: I believe I've screwed up the project somehow. In the very beginning. I've recreated everything from scratch, Added Navigation controllers and now the problem is gone and it everything loads the way it should be!
Your Segue between SignIn controller and TabBar controller must be "Present Modally"
And then if you want use navigation controller after TabBar controller, you must add new navigation controller between your tabs and TabBarController!
If you want to have there tabs with NavigationController, you must add three Navigation Controller...

How can I dismiss unwanted pages of my two pages consisting interface controller after pushing a new interface over it? On Watchkit

I was trying to push an interface after clicking at one button of my two pages consisting rootController and got a weird result.
My requested controller (second image) gets pushed over my first page..but, the second page of my root controller is still there and I can segue into it.
I don't want this.
How can I dismiss all other pages of my several pages controller after pushing a new interface over it?.
Modal is not an option as I want to go deeper after pushing this controller.
WatchKit does not support pushing an interface controller in a page-based navigation layout. As of Xcode beta 4, I understand that you won't see this strange behaviour as the interface simply will not be presented.

How to build navigation controller from existing view controllers drew in storyboard?

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.

Create a view that stays above all other views pushed inside the UINavigationController

I want to know if its possible to create a view that will stay above all the other viewControllers that i push in my navigation controller.
I'm using storyboards in Xcode 5.0.2 with iOS6 plus platforms.
just like the UITabBarController works by nesting the navigation controller inside it so the tab bar stays at top no matter how many view controllers are pushed inside it. i want to create the same functionality but i can't use the tab bar controller due to the fact that its not very customizable and it doesn't look well for my app in iOS versions below iOS6. so my only option is to create my own view that will stay above a uinavigation controller.
I'm not sure if this is possible so kindly let me know if anyone knows a way to do this or anything similar. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks.
