Itunes sync 'AppName' failed to install.

I dont understand why i get this sometimes when trying to sync an app to my device (message shows on device itself)
certain provisioning profiles just dont work. I will usually fumble around, creating new ones until i get one to work.
The latest attempt:
I created the provisioning profile on the iOS developer site.
I included 2 udids.
downloaded
I created the app, it works on one device, but not the other
itunes sync 'AppName' failed to install.
ok, let me test again, so i go create a new profile for just one UDID (the UDID that was working a moment ago)
itunes sync 'AppName' failed to install.
What!!! WHY!
Its like some profiles are corrupt or something? What can i be missing here?
for one example, both udids are in the profile, why would the .ipa install on one, but not the other?
(installing from 2 different comptuers)

Any suggestions you can think of? I have now lost all ability to test the app even on my own device. It seems to provisioning profiles are the cause?
with itunes, the device itself gives the unhelpful error itunes sync 'AppName' failed to install.
with the iphone configuration utility, the program errors:
Could not install the application on device. Error: A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.
I dont understand, this has been working for months and now it does not.
When i try to install the application, the provisioning profile shows up on the device and states its valid.
I am now starting from scratch again from the iOS provisioning page, but it will not work at all this time.
desciption: [a name i put]
bundleSeedID(app id prefix)
i have only a choice of two or "team id"
budle identifier (app id suffix)
i had always used the wild card *
this worked in the past, now i have tried creating provisioning profiles this way, or with a valid name and using the same name in app id export settings in flash Ide
new profile
name myProfile
[certificate selected]
app id
[selected the app id i just made]
device selected, UDID is correct and worked for months prior
wait/refresh
download profile
create the app in flash CS5.5
app ID = anything because i used the wind card, OR exact same as app ID created in iOS page
its created successful, but fails to install on device.
Any suggestions are welcome, i am now spending hours on this its ridiculous

Itunes sync (whatever) failed to install, for all applications - help!

Today I attempted to sync my iPhone 3GS with itunes 3.6.3 (windows) and almost no apps will update or install, including existing ones and new ones. When itunes first came up, it asked me to re-authorize my computer even though this is not a new computer, new iphone, or new itunes library. I re-authorized anyway and it told me that the computer was already authorized. Things I've tried so far: rebooting the iphone, restoring from backup, resetting the iphone to factory settings and reinstall, deauthorizing and reauthorizing the computer, purchasing a new app, all to no avail - new applications fail to install, old applications (as a result of restore) report failure to sync and are removed from the phone. The bottom line is that my iphone appears thoroughly unable to sync any longer. Any advise would be much appreciated.

More information. ITunes error log reports:
The app "(whatever)" was not installed on the iPhone "iPhone" because an unknown error occurred(0xE80000004)
for all add-on apps (e.g. those not installed on factory install), including apple applications.
All such apps on the iphone are stuck in "waiting..." state. Manually deleting them off the iphone and reinstalling via the iphone app store will install them. Interestingly, sometimes it takes multiple tries to delete the apps.
Anyone?

Another "itunes Sync *app* Failed to install" thread

Hi,
I am having some major provisioning problems, and i dont want to hijack the other thread.
My Macbook Air crashed after trying to install a thunderbolt driver in July and i lost my dev environment.
I reinstalled OS, downloaded my sources and i can debug the SW in the emulator.
But i can no longer get it to install on any device. I have tried both a iphone 4 and an ipad 3.
environment:
osx 10.8
Air 3.4b2
xcode 4.4.1
IOS 5.1.1
IOS language:Swedish
After reading the forum and pretty much half of the internet today I have tried the following.
1. I revoke all certs in apple developer portal
2. i remove all mobile provisioning files
3. I export a cert request from Keychain access. ( Shall i export a special Key?, I export without having chosen a specific key in Keychain access)
4. I use the certsigningrequest to create a new development cert.
5. I download the new cert, doubleclick it and export a .p12 file by chosing Keys-><my name>->privatekey->export.
6. I create a new mobile provisioning profile file in the portal chosing my full Appid 5625GW2MUW.com.elsheep.parken.MobileClient.
7. I download this file, and drag it to itunes.
8. i compile my .ipa using the exported .p21 file and the dev provisioning file.9. i install the .ipa in itunes by doubleclicking on it.
10. I synk the file onto my ipad.
and it bombs.
Should i be able to install a file with development cert/profile, or do i need to use an ad hoc one ( I have tried this and i get the same fault.)
xcode clains that the provisioning pofile is valid
Using iphone configuration utility i can see this in the ipad log:

This is truly driving me crazy.
Does anyone have any good ideas? the .ipa is quite large, 123 MB as I have included a lot of assets ( it is an art/photo app). COuld this be a part of the problem?
regards,
/Lars

Hi,
I am using Flash Builder, so that should be ok.
I have now succesfully build and deployed another app using the same .p12 file and a mobileprovisioning file based on the same certificate.
I will try to remove the assets from the IPA to see if it might be a size issue, as that is the major difference from the last version I had that worked before the crash.

Itunes Sync *app* Failed to install

So I have been trying to troubleshoot this issue for about a week. I have tried everything I can think of, but I cant seem to find a way to get the app I made to load onto my iPad. Is there some sort of foolproof procedure I can follow? I have been using this site http://www.lynda.com/Flash-Professional-CS5-5-tutorials/Building-Mobile-Apps-for-Multiple- Devices-with-Flash-Professional/89049-2.html but I still am not able to get it to install. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!!

Sorry about the wait guys, I am currently deleting every old certificate, device, and everything else. I decided to start from scratch so that you guys will be able to tell me what I may be doing wrong.
Step by step, here is what I have done so far.
I went into my provisioning portal and got rid of everything, So I am starting fresh.
1. Generated a certificate signing request using the keychain access
     -oscp and clr set to off
     -requested a certificate from a certificate authority
     -saved to desktop
2. Took the CSR file and went into the certificates tab of provisioning portal
     -clicked request certificate in the development tab
     -on the Create iOS development certificate screen, I found my CSR and selected it
     -I then clicked submit and refreshed the Certificate page so that it is approved
     -Downloaded the developer certificate and saved it to my desktop
3. Opened up the keychain access and went to File | Import
     -Took the new .CER file which is the developer certificate and imported it
     -Right clicked the newly added PRIVATE key in the keychain access and clicked Export
     -Saved the Exported file to the desktop, the file is a P12
     -Gave the P12 a password while saving, verified with admin priveledges.
4. Went back to the provisionong portal and went to the Devices tab
     -Clicked Add device in the Devices tab
     -Connected testing device in iTunes and copied the UDID
     -Gave the device a name and pasted the UDID into the device UDID box
     -Clicked submit at the bottom of the page to register the device
5. Went to the App ID Tab of the provisioning portal
     -Clicked the Manage tab and clicked New App ID
     -On the Create App ID page, entered "General Development" into the Description field
     -Entered "*" into the Bundle Identifier to create a wildcard App ID
6. Went to the Development tab in the Provisioning Profile
     -Clicked on New Profile under Development Provisioning Profiles
     -On the Create iOS Development Provisioning Profile page, entered my name i the Profile Name field
     -Checked the appropriate checkbox for my Development Certificate
     -Selected the "General Development" App ID from the dropdown
     -Checked the box next to the Device Name I recently added
     -Clicked the Submit button, Refreshed the page so it was active
     -Downloaded the Development Provisioning Profile onto my Desktop
And THAT is where I am now. Before I go any further, can I get some feedback on those steps? Did I miss any? Was there a preference I should have selected that I didnt?
Thank you very much for taking the time to read all that, Its quite a bit!

"AppName failed to install" What can I do now?

Hi,

Thank you

ITunes sync is failing to start.

iTunes sync is failing to start. Everything is updated, my device is recognized, it just won't start. I got it to work earlier, but some of my music still wouldn't copy over. Now it won't start. Any ideas?

I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy and don't want to edit it. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
"this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" or "My Computer"; i'm not sure which search will pop up your itunes files. Try them both. And then type in the "all or part of the file name" box, itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search, use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've already restarted your computer once (according, to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Good luck and ask me anything if you have some questions!!"
Let me know if it works or not. Again, good luck!
Remember, this is just a suggestion, it's up to you if you want to do it or not.

Sync failure because itunes sync server failed to sync the iPhone

I have an iPhone sync problem that started when I updated to iTunes 7.4.2. One person's solution of removing the "MobileSync" folder did not work for me. (Note that my MobileSync Folder is in my Library/Application Support Folder.) So, I am still searching for the fix. Here is the exact error message that I have been getting for about a month now, "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "My iPhone" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone." I already tried re-installing iTunes and restarting the iPhone, both to no avail. PLEASE HELP!

I am running Mac OS 10.4.10 and with it, now, the Syncing is performed with the .Mac System Preference, not with iSync.
For a .Mac account only.
FYI, If you press the "Advanced" Button within the .Mac System Preference, there is a "Reset Sync Data..." Button available that basically does something similar.
This is not similar and is for a .Mac account only - this feature provides for resetting synced data on your computer from the .Mac servers or resetting synced data on the .Mac servers from your Mac.
iSync is the conduit for syncing cell phones other than the iPhone or another device such as a Palm Pilot and using Reset Sync History clears the sync history for such devices including the iPhone.

Itunes latest update failed to install

Latest update failed to install.
Loaded manually.
Now won't run at all...
HELP....

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Itunes 9.2 Fails to Install

Why is it that everytime that i install itunes 9.2 it falils at moving items into place I downloaded it manually off apple and still does not work and i also tryed on how to fully remove itunes but that did not work either
Message was edited by: shadowkiller

I don't know if I should start a whole new thread, but essentially I am having the same problem. Yesterday, iTunes 9.2 began to hang while loading, and it kept bringing the whole system down. I ran disk utility, tried starting the Mac in safe mode - nothing worked. So I trashed iTunes, downloaded the standalone installer, and it just will not work. It gets about halfway through the Activation phase, and then says that the installation failed.
I've also tried unintalling iTunes completely via instructions from Apple. I've run Disk Warrior and rebuilt the desktop several times. I've trashed the installer and downloaded a fresh copy. Nothing I've tried seems to work. I've made sure that iTunes Helper process isn't running, and that it's not in my startup items. My patience is growing kind of thin. Other than wiping everything out and starting from scratch, I don't know of any other fix. I would really hate to have to start from scratch. I would really appreciate some guidance to get this problem fixed. It's extremely frustrating.

check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings.
next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
the important part is to apply to enclosed items !

Itunes 10.7 fails to install~

when trying to uninstall 10.7..."feature trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" (while upgrading)

That's perfect, thanks.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
