You need to place your top level categories directly below a root category for them to be shown.
The screenshot below shows a Root category (which is not visible on the frontend) with 4 top level categories listed directly below. It is these that will/can be visible in the main navigation.
Also, ensure that the category is active and that "Include in Navigation Menu" is set to "Yes". This can be found towards the bottom of the "General Information" tab in the category settings.
Finally, make sure that the root category you are using is assigned to the correct store: System > Manage Stores
