Xcode Storyboard - Table View doesn't expand automatically when dragged in - xcode

In Xcode 7.3, when I drag in a Table View from the Object Library to the Storyboard for a single view app, it doesn't automatically expand to the full size of the view. I seen it do that in my Udacity class videos and in other videos on YouTube. Is there a setting in Xcode that will correct this? Thanks.

Yes, you need to "pin" the tableView at the ViewController. Am I right you have a simple ViewController and add a tableView to it?
Now, you need to open the Pin Menu and uncheck the checkbox "Constrains to margins". Now you add the constrains to the top, left, right and bottom to 0 and save it. Now the TableView should stretch the whole display.
If you only show a table in the ViewController you should use a UITableViewController.

Dragging UIButton on UIView in Interface Builder not working

I created a new Xib file, called MainViewController.xib. I dragged a View onto the builder, then plopped a UIButton on top of the view. Nothing happened, my button is on the view but not considered a subview. There is no hierarchy tree on the left column under the View icon that tells me my button is a subview.
Why is that? Every time I control+drag from the button to the view icon, the information for constraints pops up, instead of anything regarding an IBOutlet connection.
I'm using Xcode 7.1.2
I can control+drag to from my button to my .h file and create a property, but other than that, it's not recognized as a subview. Any help at all will be appreciated, I'm losing my mind.

Shouldn't an NSTableview autoresize when its superview resizes?

I have an NSTableview on the contentview of an NSWindow. When I resize the window, I would like the height of the NSTableview to resize. This isn't working.
To make sure I haven't set something incorrectly, I created a new mac project, view-based, storyboard. In IB, I added an NSTableView to the view. It looks like the default is to have autoresizing on, so I made no changes. Run this sample project, resize the window and the tableview does not resize. I guess I am missing something. What is it??
BTW, I am using xCode 6.3
• While viewing the xib, select the Bordered Scroll View that contains your table.
• In the lower-right of the xib canvas, you'll see 4 icons. The 2nd icon is called "Pin" if you hover your mouse over it. Click that.
• In the view that pops up, click the 4 red constraint connectors, then click "Add 4 Constraints".

Create Back Button with Storyboards

I currently have 3 tabs connected to a common UITabBarController. When one of the tabs is selected the user is taken to a UITableView with 3 cells which can be selected. When a cell is selected the user is taken to a new page with a UINavigationBar at the top. My understanding is that the UINavigationBar is supposed to include some sort of back button and I couldn't figure out how to enable it.
In place of the default back button, I dragged a UIButton to the corner and connected it to the 'Show Detail' property of the previous view but when I press the UIButton I am taken to the right UITableView but the tabs are missing for navigation. What am I doing wrong? My segues look like this:
The UINavigationController has the back functionality. How to go back one view in UINavigationController?.
Here is some old tutorial on how to combine that with a tabbarcontroller. should still be the same principles.

Overlapping cells in static tableview built using storyboard

All,
I'm using the Xcode 6 beta to build an iOS8 project using storyboard and swift. In the storyboard, I've created a Table View Controller as my primary view when the application loads and have added a label to the first cell and a label to the second cell.
The table looks fine in the storyboard, but when I run the application, the cells overlap. This is a brand new project with no other changes made or code added.
You can see both the storyboard and the running application in the photo below. Any ideas on what could be driving this?
Additionally, when I try to add a button to one of the cells, I get a grey box that covers 90% of the view.
I think I've had this issue. Try making some Auto Layout connections from the label to the Content View of the cell, and from the table view (and its cells) to the containing view, to force the views to be the proper size.
The following worked for me.
Control-click and drag from your label to left side of the cell it's in. When the modal comes up, check the box for 'Leading Space to Container'.
Repeat the same Control-click and drag process for each side of the cell, selecting the relevant Auto Layout option when it appears.
(Optional) Try to Control-click and drag from your table view to the each side of the containing view (if there is one), and repeat the steps from above.
Hopefully this works for you.

How to use UIScrollView with ViewControllers from Storyboard

How would I use a UIScroll view (much like the main iPhone screen) with the page control at the bottom, pass UIViewControllers?
I have three UIViewControllers,that I would like the user to swipe back and forth. However these are already created in a Storyboard. I want the entry point to be the middle viewController and have the user wipe left and right to get to the 1st and 3rd view controller.
Am I right to assume that swiping is built into scroll view's with paging enabled?
Thanks in advance
