Answer 1

My guess is that self.navigationItem is nil, which would mean that your UIViewController is not contained within a UINavigationController. For this to work you need to do something like this:

UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myController];

Then present the "navController" instead of "myController".

Hope that helps.
