Answer 1

I was able to get Werner Altewischer's WEpopover to work by passing up the toolbar along with the
UIBarButton: Mod is in WEPopoverController.m

- (void)presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem *)item toolBar:(UIToolbar *)toolBar
               permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections 
                               animated:(BOOL)animated 
{
    self.currentUIControl = nil;
    self.currentView = nil;
    self.currentBarButtonItem = item;
    self.currentArrowDirections = arrowDirections;
    self.currentToolBar = toolBar;

    UIView *v = [self keyView];
    UIButton *button = nil;

    for (UIView *subview in toolBar.subviews) 
    {
        if ([[subview class].description isEqualToString:@"UIToolbarButton"])
        {
            for (id target in [(UIButton *)subview allTargets]) 
            {
                if (target == item) 
                {
                    button = (UIButton *)subview;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (button != nil) break;
        }
    }

    CGRect rect = [button.superview convertRect:button.frame toView:v];

    [self presentPopoverFromRect:rect inView:v permittedArrowDirections:arrowDirections animated:animated];
}
