How do I show the placeholder window in Xcode?

I am an iOS noob and I've gotten stuck while trying to do a tutorial from O'Reilly's headfirst iphone development 2e. The tutorial wants me to drag the picker to the placeholder menu as shown in the picture below--but I can't seem to make this menu visible in xcode.

What do I do to show the placeholder menu?

If I need to click the "Disclosure button" as suggested in an answer to this question, where do I find it in the interface? In the navigators? The utilities?

Here is my screen in xcode:

Your problem is that you have created your project with a storyboard. Storyboards do not have a File's Owner placeholder. Since you're a self-described noob, you should just start a new project and make sure you turn off the “Use Storyboard” checkbox when you are going through the new project wizard.

Right click or control click over the picker and that window should pop up. Then drag (not control drag) from the open circle up to file's owner.
