How can I solve the Code Sign error: The identity ipad doesn't match any valid, non-expired certificate/private key pair in your keychains?

Question

I'm new to developing for iOS (hence new to MacOSx) and using Titanium, the version I'm using is 2.1. I tried to deploy my application on an iPad but the following error showed up:

[ERROR] Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid, non-expired certificate/private key pair in your keychains

When I checked Xcode the Provisioning Profiles have the status Valid signing identity not found, my Xcode version is 4.4. I have entered my team developer portal, the application and the iPad are registered there and have downloaded the certificate and the provisioning files and I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with this. I have tried this post but I couldn't solve my problem.

I'm really lost here and I wish someone would just guide me in finding the answer to this problem. What I have read so far hasn't given me a solution. Hope anyone can help me with this issue.

Every time this problem creeps up for me (when I'm using a new machine or new device), I always refer to this post:

iPhone app signing: A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain

The answer by Louie always worked for me. Good luck
