    <p>Part of your problem is mentioned under the heading <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/iphone/conceptual/iphoneosprogrammingguide/Preferences/Preferences.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH6-SW24" rel="nofollow">"Specifying Default Values for Preferences"</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>default preference values from the application’s Settings bundle are not set until the Settings application runs. This means that if the user runs your application before running Settings, the default values specified in your Settings bundle are unavailable.</p> </blockquote> <p>All the stuff in the Settings bundle doesn't get loaded for your app's defaults database until <em>after</em> the user opens the Settings Application. Does this seem stupid to you? Seems stupid to me. The result is that you need to register all those defaults initially yourself. I wrote this while I was trying to figure out what was going on; improvements can definitely be made, but it should get you started:</p> <pre><code>NSURL * settingsURL = [[NSBundle bundleWithURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"Settings" withExtension:@"bundle"]] URLForResource:@"Root" withExtension:@"plist"]; NSDictionary * settingsDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfURL:settingsURL]; NSArray * settingsArr = [settingsDict objectForKey:@"PreferenceSpecifiers"]; NSUserDefaults * defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; for( NSDictionary * setting in settingsArr ){ NSString * key = [setting objectForKey:@"Key"]; if( !key ) continue; // Some objects don't have keys if( ![defaults objectForKey:key] ){ [defaults setObject:[setting objectForKey:@"DefaultValue"] forKey:key]; } } </code></pre> <p>Another problem that you have is that you don't get an array for <code>PSTitleValueSpecifier</code> keys when you do <code>[defaults objectForKey:@"myTitlePreferencesKey"]</code>; you just get one string. A <code>@"DefaultValue"</code> key/value pair is also required to be part of <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/PreferenceSettings/Conceptual/SettingsApplicationSchemaReference/Articles/PSTitleValueSpecifier.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007015-SW1" rel="nofollow">that item's dictionary</a>. Initially you will get that value, which must be a string. If you change the value, you'll get the string from the <code>Titles</code> array which has the same index as that object in the <code>Values</code> array. I'm pretty sure that if you have a <code>Values</code> array, you also have to have a <code>Titles</code> array.</p> <p>For the second part of your question, if you want to change the values of any of the preferences, you simply do</p> <pre><code>[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:myValue forKey:@"myKey"]; </code></pre>

    1. COThanks for the reply, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. The value of mystrings is still 0x0. Plus, I don't think this suggestion would work if you had multiple preference items since the key "Values" would not be unique. According to how I have interpreted the documentation I have read so far, the key "My Identifier" should be the one that I am supposed to specify as a unique key for your data. You may be on the right track, but as I said, it did not work.

    2. CO@Jeff: The key _has_ to be unique; it's a dictionary. You can use whatever you want as the key, @"My Identifier", @"Value", @"Yellow Zebras", but only one of each key can exist. Can you clarify this file's location? I think that might be your real problem. What docs are you referring to?

    3. CORoot.plist is part of the Settings.bundle which is within my Resources folder. Yes, I understand that I need to specify a unique key. When I create Preference items within the Root.plist file under xcode where the new item is a "Title" item, xcode automatically creates 4 keys (Type, Title, Identifier, and Default Value). You can change the "Default Value" key to be a "Values" key. When you do that, it creates an Item key (and you can keep adding more items). For the Item key, you can specify string values (e.g. "my string 1"). I will continue on the next comment (limited size).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
