I was working perfectly fine last week and somehow the HD was damaged, I bought a new one and everything ok... Then I install xcode and download some certificates for my app, app developer, etc... And when I plug my iPod touch in the iPod provisioning Profiles i get the message "Valid signing identity not found". What can I do to restore everything back to normal?

did you also add your certificates into your keychain? the provisioning profiles go into xcode, the developer / distribution certificates go into the keychain. - alex
yes, that was the first thing done after I downloaded them - ChecoSchnaider

You need the private keys that were used to sign the certificate. If you don't have them anymore you can generate a new signing request on the dev page.
