Back button issues

When I run the application and it loads up the Login Screen for the first time I can see the Back button still (just without the arrow sign and you cannot click it). The arrow and the 'Back' disappear once i login and logout.

Another thing is when I go to the signup page, the back button is no longer there, how do I get it to appear on the sign up page (But the back button is there after i login, then logout and go to the sign up page)

I don't know if what I had said makes sense, but any help is greatly appreciated, thanks! :)

Perform everything in the prepareForSegue method (delete the navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES; in the loginVC.m) by adding this lines:

[segue.destinationViewController setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:YES]; segue.destinationViewController.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;

You must make sure that you are properly implementing the navigation controller. Your code may be hiding it on some screens if the navigation controller is properly hooked in. Otherwise, if your view controllers are not associated with a navigation controller then you will not see a back button.
