Cant Edit Navigation bar

When adding the edit friends table view controller and connecting the button via the push connection ( now shown as the 'show' connection in Xcode 6) the navigation controller appears but won't let me highlight/select it to edit the title or to drag and drop a bar button into it. I've tried restarting Xcode and redone the page and re-watched the video several times too! don't understand why it won't let me especially when it has on all the previous view controllers.

thanks in advance !

You should select this ViewController then choose Editor->Embed in -> Navigation Controller. After that you can add title, bar button and etc.

I have the same problem. You can manually add a navigation bar to an associated view controller when the navigation controller is selected as the root view controller.
