To summarize what you've done:

1. You set up a Pages NSArrayController.
2. You set up a Masters NSArrayController.
3. You bind the pop-up's Content Values to the Masters controller's "arrangedObjects.name". 4. You bind the pop-up's Selected Value to the Pages controller's "selection.master" property.

I think the issue is that Step #4 is incorrect, and you're missing Step #5. There's also one other caveat.

Step 4 should be:

4. You bind the pop-up's Selected Object to the Pages controller's "selection.master" property.

The Selected Value binding is for the title of the selected item; the Selected Object binding is used to actually choose the selected item.

The missing Step 5 is:

5. Bind the pop-up's Content to the Masters controller's "arrangedObjects".

This will ensure that each item in the pop-up represents an item available via the Masters controller. Think of it this way: "Content Values" and "Selected Value" are about what the pop-up shows to the user, while "Content" and "Selected Object" are about the underlying objects the pop-up represents.

One other thing to ensure is that you're *only* using the specific Masters controller you set up in Step #2 for populating this pop-up. One common issue is to try to "consolidate" controllers; since bindings are generally two-way, this can cause unexpected behavior. Use separate controllers for separate situations, even if they're bound to the same thing.
