I'm using the storyboard in a tabbed application that I am currently laying out. In addition to the Tab Bar Controller I have four View Controllers. Do I need a header and body file for each of the views when using the storyboard ?
Yes, that would be the best way. That follows the MVC (Model View Controller) design pattern and will get you started going in the right direction.

I am fairly new to the OSX development and I am finding difficulty on getting some helpful material on the oSX development.
I want to slide from one view controller to another. How do I do that?
I know how to get from one view controller to another. When a button is pressed on the controller another view controller pops up. I dont want that. I want to slide from one view controller to another. Is there a way to do that?
Any help is appreciated
Navigation controller does exactly what you want(it is its default animation), create storyboard file, drop navigation controller in there, set it as initial view controller and there you have it.
Here is a very useful tutorial for storyboards and navigations: http://www.raywenderlich.com/81879/storyboards-tutorial-swift-part-1
In my app I want one view controller to be shown in landscape because it is a signature pad. The rest of the views are portrait. I can force the view to be landscape without a problem as long as it is not embedded in a Navigation Controller. The problem is that I want the Navigation bar to show also. Does anyone know a workaround for this?
You can either present your view controller instead of push using UINavigationController (See kjam's solution in the following link) or you may try this solution of arpan_techisavy.
I often make use of views in interface builder that live outside of the viewcontroller hierarchy (see screen grab below for simple example).
Before upgrading to Xcode5 I could get this view to appear on the storyboard by writing an IBAction outlet and dragging a connection from the code to the view in the storyboard.
If you paused over the button for a moment it would flash and then open up as a view on the storyboard that is then a lot easier to work with.
Since upgrading this function no longer seems available. Has anyone found out how to get these views to appear on the storyboard?
Edit:
Using the temporary viewcontroller as described in this answer seems one approach, although fiddly since you need to move the UIView stack between viewcontrollers each time you want to edit the layout. Using a separate XIB is starting to seem like the sanest approach.

Finally, we get this back in Xcode 7.
Hallelu!
I've been messing around with the new iOS7 SDK and I want to make a back button like there is in most of the other OS apps. Heres a screen shot of what I'm trying to do:
But I can't figure out how. I've never really messed with interface builder because I usually code with opengl apps, so any solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
That is is standard "back" button. You get this when you use a navigation controller and show one view controller then push a second. The "<" means "go back". The "September" part is the title of the previous view controller. You don't need to create one of these. Just make proper use of a navigation controller and a couple of view controllers and it will appear automatically.
Am working with my first storyboard application and am having a problem. When I drag a navigation controller to my layout, the root controller always ends up as a table view controller, when all I want is just a basic view controller.
How do I keep the navigation controller from setting up the root view controller as a root table view controller?
Thank you.
This has changed sometime between Xcode 4.2 and 4.3.3. I had Xcode 4.2 on another computer running Snow Leopard, and adding a navigation controller sets up a regular view controller as the root view controller, but Xcode 4.3.3 on my main development machine running Lion behaves as you described--it adds a table view controller.
I'm not aware of any way to change this (maybe Xcode ninjas could hack some templates?), but of course you can just delete the table view controller and add a new regular view controller, and set its custom class. Then you Control-drag from the navigation controller to your new view controller, and select "Relationship - Root View Controller" from the pop-up menu (this used to say "... - rootViewController" in Xcode 4.2).
Erica Sadun's "The iOS 5 Developer's Cookbook" relies on the old Xcode 4.2 behavior in Chapter 4's storyboard walkthrough, but I managed to complete it with no issues using the workaround I described above, which you probably have found already. But if not, hope this helps.
Just simple add navigation controller to the storyboard
after that delete link shown between viewcontroller and navigation controller
then add tableview controller to the story board
control click on the navigation view and realease on the tableview controller
in the apperaing menu select relationship segue as rootviewcontroller
