> If renaming is the answer, is there any sample code to do this safely, taking care of all cases?  (For example, replacement name already taken, or adding an extension if the file doesn’t start with one, etc.)

An idea... move the destination file, if it exists, to the trash.
See NSFileManager's trashItemAtURL:resultingItemURL:error: to do that in a
safe manner.   Trash the old file then save the new.
