Ok I got it working, I followed a few of your suggestions, and simply copied my plist to a dictionary before I wrote to it, and then added the profile attributes in a child dictionary. I then used the profile name as a key for the parent dictionary, then wrote back the parent dictionary back to the plist. Works great.

Greetings,
I am working on a application that will allow a user to have multiple
profiles. My problem is that when I want to write a new profile to a
plist
file, it overwrites my old one. I have looked through the
documentation to
try to find a way to append this dictionary to the plist without
overwritting
the existing dictionaries... Does anyone have any suggestions?
Embed your dictionary profiles in a dictionary whose keys are the name
of the profiles and the related values the profile.
