xcode iphone back button

Seems like this would be a simple thing, but I cannot find any good info on it.

I just want to be able to 'force' the back button to show. I have a main view and when I transfer to another view there is no back button. But then if I transfer to a 3rd view, the back button appears. This seems to always be the case. Only the 2nd transferred to view shows a back button. I need it to show up on all views except the main view.

I dont need to override it, just simply force it to show where it is not showing...

Patch's solution (dismissModalViewController)had been unfortunately deprecated and replaced by dismissViewControllerAnimated. Here is the current one:

-(IBAction)switchback:(id)sender {
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

I know this is an old question, but this might help...

...sometimes you need to embed a view inside a Navigation Controller for the back button to show. Simply select your view controller and select Editor -> Embed In -> Navigation Controller.

If the button does not show (usually if you are presenting a modal view rather than push) then you will need to manually make a 'Cancel' button. Create an action for this and in the method put (I call my method switchback):

-(IBAction)switchback:(id)sender {
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
