I have an IPA signed for ad-hoc distribution. I can install it fine with Xcode Organizer by dragging it to the device. It also worked with iTunes <=10 by dragging onto the device name. I'd like to install it via iTunes 11 though. Dragging it onto the device name, or the app section does not work. Any idea how to do it now?

In iTunes 11 you can go to the view menu, and "Show Sidebar", this will give you the sidebar, that you can drag 'n drop to.

You'll drag 'n drop to the open area that will be near the bottom of the sidebar (I'm typically doing this with both an IPA and a provisioning profile). After you do that, there will be an apps menu that appears in the sidebar with your app in it. Click on that, and you'll see your application in the main view. You can then drag your application from there to your device. Below, please find a video (it's private, so you'll need the URL) that outlines the steps visually: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0ACq4CRpEJ8&feature=youtu.be
