Answer 1

Listen dude u you have to override the shouldrotate function to YES in all the tab bar , like you have 3 tab bar in your app , go to there respective class and

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation 
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations.

    return YES;
}

in all the respective class of the tab bar... hope that help , if it does pray for me ...

It's not possible to change the orientation for one view in a tabBar and not for another. If a TabBar is specified then all the subviews (tabs) must have the same orientation appearance. You must set the orientation in each ViewController and in the TabBarController.

So just add this in all the tabbar's main Controllers

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
    if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
        return YES;

    return toInterfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown;
}

In your Case those controllers where this code is to be added are FavouritesViewController, NeedViewController & DontNeedViewController
