Got new iPhone, can't add as a device to develop on

When I plug my iPhone 5 in, Xcode recognizes it, but when I build my code and try to run it on my phone, I get this error:

A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.

So I go to the organizer, click the phone under Devices and click Add to Portal, but I get this error:

A device with number '...' already exists on this team.

What am I doing wrong?

Had exactly the same problem earlier today.

Firstly check that you have a valid key pair for the provisioning profile you're trying to use. Then reissue your certificate using a new certificate generation request. Create a new provisioning profile using your new key pair and set that manually rather than using the organiser in XCode.

You added it to the portal but did you add that device into your provisioning profile for your app as well? I would check to make sure that the device is actually listed in the prov profile and that you've downloaded & installed it. I'd also kill the previous copy of the prov profile out of Organizer. Also, sometimes XCode goes brain dead with device additions and will need a restart.
