When I run this code on the iOS 6 simulator, I only get the 'no rows here' label after clicking Edit and then Done.

in iOS6 in the loadView method calls the setEditing method on the tableview, but at that time the view hierarchy is not yet totally instantiated. So the placeholder gets added to the tableView's superview that is still nil and the implementation assumes that has been added.

Quick and not yet properly tested solution: replace "_placeHolderVisible = YES" in the displayPlaceholderIfNeeded method with: _placeHolderVisible = _placeHolderView.superview != nil && _placeHolderView.superview == self.superview; This makes sure that the placeholder has actually been added to a view (the same as tableview superview).

It's an old post but i hope this helps someone :)
