Issues like this often crop up as soon as you try to make an app which his more complicated than Apple Sample Code :))

ARC doesn't help for KVO observers, notification observers, delegates, manual bindings, or data sources.  These must still be managed manually.

Here is some typical code "tear down" code.  This is for a tabbed window.  Note the outline view's delegate and data source being set to nil.

* In window controller implementation

- (void)windowWillClose:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
    // The world WILL end.  Pull out all of the
    // power cords ASAP.

    // Pull cords which are OK to pull more than once
    …

    if (!m_tornDown) {
       // m_tornDown = YES ;
       …

       // Pull cords which must be pulled only once
       …
       [viewController1 tearDown]
       [viewController2 tearDown]
       …
    }
}


* Typical -tearDown in view controller (tab) implementation

- (void)tearDown {
    // To fix crash if Split view tries to update as window is closing.
    // http://lists.apple.com/archives/cocoa-dev/2012/Aug/msg00638.html
    [splitView setDelegate:nil] ;

    ContentDataSource* contentDataSource = [contentOutlineView dataSource] ;
    [contentDataSource setDocument:nil] ;

    // Messaging table views' delegates and data sources after they are
    // gone causes indeterminate crashes.
    [contentOutlineView setDelegate:nil] ;
    [contentOutlineView setDataSource:nil] ;

    // Must unbind the things that we bound manually, or bad things happen
    // as the window closes, for example, Core Data Burps
    // like this:
    // "The NSManagedObject with ID:0x16f7f2f0
    //      <x-coredata://A_UUID/Stark_entity/p20> has been invalidated."
    [(StarkTableColumn*)[contentOutlineView tableColumnWithIdentifier:@"userDefinedC0"] unbindValue] ;
    [(StarkTableColumn*)[contentOutlineView tableColumnWithIdentifier:@"userDefinedC1"] unbindValue]  ;
    // And these other views have been seen to get valueForKey:
    // and/or setValue:forKey: messages after they have been
    // deallocated, causing crashes.
    [detailView unbind:@"enaabled"] ;
    [detailView unbind:@"tooltip"] ;
    [detailView unbind:@"value"] ;
    [detailView unbind:@"tokenizingCharacter"] ;
    [detailView unbind:@"value"] ;
    [contentOutlineView unbind:@"selectedStarkiTags"] ;

    [[MAKVONotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self] ;
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self] ;
}
