Default Getting Used to Interface Design Differences from iOS Development

I've been an iOS Dev for about a year - I absolutely love it. I now want to branch into Mac Development as well. I already know a lot of Objective C and how to code it - but looking around in Interface Builder, I feel kind of confused.

I'm very used to using Tab Bars, Tool Bars, Navigation Bars, and the like in my iPhone and iPad apps. Am I missing something, or are they not there for Mac Apps?
I know tool bars are possible on the bottom of the screen, as iPhoto '09 uses one. I know Tab Bars are possible, as iPhoto '11 uses one.

Where are they in IB for Mac Apps?

What should I do to familiarize myself with interface design on Mac Applications?
