Answer 1

You can not add bar button items to tab bar.

To add bar button item to a toolbar

//Create a BarButtonItem configure the way you want.

self.forwardButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemPlay
                          target:nil action:nil];

// Create an array for all the bar buttons

NSArray *toolBarItems = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:forwardButton,nil];

// Set toolar items

[self.toolBar setItems:toolBarItems];   

// add items to toolbar

[self addSubview:self.toolBar];

EDIT

In case you want to add space between BarButtonItems

UIBarButtonItem *spaceItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:NULL];
