I had the same problem and now, it is working fine. You can try it, if its works fine, 1.First i set the tool bar hidden to NO.

[self.navigationController setToolbarHidden:NO  animated:YES];

2.addin Image to UItoolbar UIImage *toolbarImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"search_BottomBar1.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];

[[UIToolbar appearance]setBackgroundImage:toolbarImage forToolbarPosition:UIToolbarPositionBottom barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance]setTintColor:[UIColor grayColor]];

1. i added the bar Button to it.
   UIBarButtonItem *button2 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"My Place" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(clickedButton1)];

   NSArray *itemsN = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:button0,button1,button2, nil]; [self setToolbarItems:itemsN animated:NO];

Try this, Hopefully it will works..
