is there a memory jogger for certificates and provisioning?

I bought a new iPod 4 and want to update all my apple certs and provisions for dev and dist. None of the Apple website looks like it did four upgrades ago in april.

Is there a cheat cheat with a brief description of how to go about this recurring task?

Thanks in advance for any help...

    If I understand what your saying...

    All you do is plug in your ipod and put one of your apps on it through xcode. It will automatically sync all your provisioning stuff. (To sync hit Window Organizer, (applications hit + (add app)))

    Disclaimer: Im going off of memory and super tiredness. That might not be correct.

    I think I was not clear - I need to regenerate my certifications, and create new developer and distribution provisions. The instructions on the support screen are somewhat helpful, but they are outdated by several (at least four, I think) Apple revisions to the developer web site workings.

    I was hoping that someone might know of a recent "cheat sheet" written to guide the developer through this arduous process. I wrote Apple for help and they referred me to 350 pages of documentation, which is a bit time consuming to wade through.

    Thanks again for trying to help, if you can...

    It's still a little unclear what you are asking.

    There are the individual certs for each app (bundle ID's) but there is also one main cert for dev and one for distribution.

    What do you need to replace? If you got a new ipod you can just re download the app certificates and:

    Open Xcode then open window>organizer and just drag any or all app certificates right onto your device in the organizer view. YOU CAN NOW EVEN ADD A NEW DIVICE TO YOUR ACCOUNT RIGHT IN XCODE!!!
    No more cutting and pasting UDIDs!

    Hopefully you dont need the next part.

    If you have a new computer or reformatted your hard or something that cause you to lose your two master code signing certificates on your keychain you can't redownload you need to actually revoke you current dev and distribution profile on the provisioning portal (not eachapp, just the main two). Not a good thing as I'm not 100% sure you can upload updates to current apps after that. They may have changed that recently as of only 3 or so months ago there was absolutely nothing you could do to update an app after that. You can of course upload new apps still.

    ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR MASTER PROFILE! they even make that bold in the apple starter info.
