I’m not quite sure what to make of your description here. You seem to talking about tapping on a row to go to a detail view, sort of like in the Settings app, but you said you made a segue from the detail view to the table cell, which seems like the wrong direction. Also, the are two kinds of UITableViews — really, two ways of using UITableView. One is with static cells, where the row structure is fixed in advance (again like the Settings app), the other is with dynamic cells, where the data source determines what the rows are. If your table is configured with static cells, then it should show the exact cells designed in IB. In that case, you don’t want a data source (and probably shouldn’t have one, but it’s a while and several iOS versions since I’ve done this, so my memory of the details is hazy). If your table is configured with dynamic cells, you can add other cells to the IB design, but you need to choose which kind of cell gets created for any given row by instantiating it in ‘tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:’ with the correct cell identifier. In neither case is there any control-dragging (that I can remember) to configure the cell into its table. Maybe the tutorials were talking about control-dragging to create a segue from the cell to another table that is actually the detail view?
