You can track down bad/missing connections in Interface Builder by changing the view in the nib window from icon view to list view (click the little tab in the top right of the window, right above the scrollbar) and disclosing items with the little exclamation mark by them.

A "bad/missing" connection isn't necessarily a problem. What it means is that something which is capable of triggering an action isn't connected to one (or, in the case of a class instance, an outlet isn't connected to an object, which usually IS a problem, because you probably created the outlet and forgot to connect it). Apple's sample projects tend to come with a full set of menu items, even if they're not all used. Also, some things which are capable of triggering actions and are categorised as "controls' (such as NSTextFields) are often used just for display and therefore don't have actions associated with them. This is perfectly normal practice, but will neverthless report a "bad/missing" connection. In short, if it isn't causing a problem in your application, ignore it.

1. The Window and Menu instances each report "one of the children has

A program I9m writing has the same problem. I9ve opened a number of
Apple9s own sample programs - same thing. Is this a known issue? How do
I find this bad/missing9 (evil spawn) child.
