Answer 1

Just

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = NO;

Answer 2

If properties aren't initialised properly in Objective-C you won't see any errors, the statement just won't get executed..

My first guess would be that you're calling a method on a nil reference.

Use the debugger to see whether the rightBarButtonItem has been set up properly.
