Okay, am I the only one? Whenever I decide to install a bunch of updated apps, iTunes always comes back with

Some of the applications in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPhone blah blah blah because one or more errors occurred.

Then it gives me the full list of apps, usually a dozen or more, and a link to a KnowledgeBase article: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store.

Despite the good suggestions in that article, it seems the only one that ever works for me is deleting the apps from the iPhone, re-”purchasing” them (which does not involve paying for them again) and reinstalling them. Which is a pain in the ass, frankly.
