You can set all the UITabBar icons in an easy way. You can do this in your viewWillAppear: method:

[[self.tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0] setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"BotonMapas", @"comment")];

[[self.tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:1] setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"BotonRA", @"comment")];

[[self.tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:2] setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"BotonEstado", @"comment")];

[[self.tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:3] setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"LabelInfo", @"comment")];

Swift 3.1 Solution

self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items?[0].title = NSLocalizedString("BotonMapas", comment: "comment")
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items?[1].title = NSLocalizedString("BotonRA", comment: "comment")
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items?[2].title = NSLocalizedString("BotonEstado", comment: "comment")
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items?[3].title = NSLocalizedString("LabelInfo", comment: "comment")

If you are calling this from within an embedded UIViewController, you can change the parent tab bar title with:

self.tabBarController.title = @"My Title.";

Answer 3

[view2Controller setTitle:@"ImATitle"];

might be what your after

edit: ok i just tested this and it def works for me so give it a go

UINavigationController *nav1 = [[UINavigationController alloc] init]; 
myViewController *myView = [[myViewController alloc] init];
//myView.title = @"Title"; //prob not needed
[nav1 pushViewController: myView  animated:NO];
UITabBarItem *item = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" image:[UIImage      imageNamed:@"title.png"] tag:0];
nav1.tabBarItem = item;
UITabBarController *tbc = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
tbc.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:nav1, nil];

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {


    UITabBarController *tb=[[UITabBarController alloc]init];
    UIStoryboard *sb=[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main"   bundle:nil];
    UIViewController *vc1=[sb   instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View1"];
    UIViewController *vc2=[sb   instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View2"];

      //To Set Title for UIViewController

      [vc1 setTitle:@"View1"];
      [vc2 setTitle:@"View2"];


    NSArray *vController=[[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:vc1,vc2,nil];
    tb.viewControllers=vController;
    self.window.rootViewController=tb;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];


  return YES;
