Make sure the pList file you are writing to is located in a legal place to edit it, for example Documents in the apps sandbox. Then find the path to that location (if there is an existing pList file, it will overwrite), and use:

[myDictionary writeToFile:path atomically:YES];

Write how far you are in the process, and maybe some code / error-message...
