All this did not make any difference (did not modify the files that you 
opened). Changing the default encoding in TeXShop only affects new 
content, that will be written with TeXShop, it does not affect existing 
content, that is simply visualized with TeXShop. For this (encoding 
conversion), you need a tool such as Cyclone 
<http://free.abracode.com/cyclone/>.

However, no such conversion is required in your case, as the problem is 
elsewhere.

I am beginning to suspect that in TeXShop's Misc prefs, as personal 
scripts you specified "TeX" (without the quotes) instead of "tex" (all 
lowercase) and "XeLaTeX" instead of "xelatex" (all lowercase too). This 
makes a difference, as such command-line utilities operate at the Unix 
level inside the guts of OS X:

- The Finder does its best to hide this Unix inheritage and make file 
names behave as they did in previous Mac OS versions. For example, at 
the Finder level, case is insiginificant ("a" and "A" are the same) and 
all characters but ":" can be used in files names (in Unix "/" couldn't 
be used, as well as many others).

- At the Unix level inside OS X, case is significant ("a" and "A" are 
different), "/" cannot be used in file names (since it is the directory 
separator), etc.

So, in short, make sure that your Personal Script settings in TeXShop 
look like this:
