Hi Carl
In theory - yes

But the onus is on the customer to prove the defect was there on delivery.....

IPad 2 to iPad 2 Restore Failure - Apps all Gone

My iPad 2 screen cracked (without being dropped), and to Apple's credit, they gave me a new one yesterday at the local Apple Store. I had done a total sync on damaged iPad before going to store, and then took the new iPad 2 and plugged it into iTunes. Of course, I chose to do a restore, and it seemed to take a very long time, loading everything up.
Issue: All of my music loaded up just fine, but ZERO apps. I then looked at iTunes, and it is showing no apps for the iPad. Big problem, I have purchased what amounts easily to over $1000 worth of apps. I then figured that if I just started manually loading some apps, with the iPad not plugged in, that I would get the standard message that I have already purchased the app, so it is free. I tried this with Pages (yes, I know, I should have "tested" this theory with a .99 cents app, not so swift). It charged me!
Any ideas as to what went wrong here? How do I get my apps back?
Thanks,
Scott

Are you using the same iTunes account that you used to originally download the apps ? You should be able to re-download them for free if you are : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Also the backup contains the app contents and settings, but not the apps themselves - if you can get the apps into your computer's iTunes library then the restore should work better (in order to restore the contents of an app it needs to be able to install the app itself first)

Whats my next move as I CANNOT use the ipas at the moment!!!!!!!!

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

Disk Utility: Restore Failure-Source image needs to be scanned for restore.

Hello guys,
I have a .dmg (source image) that I have created from a DVD by myself (read-only format).
I am trying to restore it to a destination and a Restore Failure notification pops-up as follow:
"Restore Failure
Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagescanned/scanned for restore"
I am quite new to Mac. Half of the time, I don't really know what I am doing - but just relying on the 'Help Menu', some research for guides on the internet and most of all read-on most of the posting here in the Apple Forum for what I want to do or might have encountered. Lastly to hopefully also speak the Mac language. For example - What's a disk image? What a .dmg? What's a source image? and etc. ~Lost~
So for this case, I am totally lost as I can't seems to understand what does the Restore Failure notification mean at all as I quote above. What does it mean by the Source image needs to be imagescanned/scanned for restore? What do I do from there? How do I scanned my source image? Is there a steps that I miss out while creating .dmg from the DVD?
Could not find any scan information? What scan information? Where do I go to asked for scan information?
I am so lost that I don't even know the right question to ask or begin with.
I know what I want to do and believe it can be done with Mac. But I just doesn't seems to understand the concept of how it really works yet but to just follow blindly throughout the guides.
So please help me if possible.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Jon Gan

Hi,
If you open Disk Utility, select the Image in the disk util sidebar, and click on Images > Scan for restore... in the menu bar, it will take care of it for you. After that you can perform a restore as you were trying to do.
They do this so that disk util can verify your data after the restore to make sure it copied exactly.

How can I turn off "find my ipad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working?

How can I turn off "Find My iPad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working? I can't get access to the apps on my mini pad. I can see the device when I'm in iTunes.

Try resetting the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.

Upgrade failure, then restore failure, error code is 1604

IOS 5.01 upgrade to IOS 5.1 failure and can't restart, then restore failure and the error code is 1604

Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

You can log out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap 'sign out' on the popup - you can then sign in with your account/
If you synced any of your mum's apps to the iPad from your her computer then they will be tied to her account, so only her account will be able to download updates to her apps

TS3297 Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine. However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help pleas

Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine. However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help please?

So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to.

Restore Failure - not enough space!

Hi all,
I just used Disk Utility to make a backup of a MBA (65GB) onto a 500GB external drive (Restore from internal HDD to external HDD). I then reformatted the internal hard disk and proceeded to restore my backup (external HDD to internal HDD). I soon received an error message stating "Restore Failure - not enough space". I guess that means Disk Utility backups are a one-way operation, since you can't restore from a larger drive to a smaller one? Is there something I am overlooking? I ended up using Carbon Copy Cloner to do the job, but I'm wondering how (if?) restoring from a larger backup drive is possible using Disk Utility?

Another way of dealing with the problem would be to install OS X and then transfer the data in Setup Assistant.

HT201077 My ipad was restored but I had saved my pictures on my other device but hasn't been backed up for 5 months how can I view those pictures on my restored ipad

My iPhone 3GS has all my pix stored in.nut I haven't backed it up in 5 months because I'm scared to lose my pix.my ipad was restored so lost the pix on my ipad.hw transfer my pix to my iPhone into my ipad?

If you only have iCloud's basic, free 5 GBs of storage, if you had more than this on your iPad, chances are high that your backups to iCloud weren't a complete iPad backup, anyhow. And since this has been full for 23 weeks means that you may end up only retrieving a fraction of your current data that you had on your iPad, if what you had on your iCloud backup contained anything that may still have been on your iPad.
This is just one of the reasons I do not like Cloud storage services.
The best and most reliable backup of your iPad is to use a computer with Apple iTunes installed on it and connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes syc and backup all of your iPad's data.
I an afraid without a clear, comprehensive backup, whatever is saved to your iCloud account is all you are going to be able to retrieve.
If you have purchased anything from IOS App Store and/or iTunes on your iPad, all of iTunes and iOS App Store purchases will have to be redownload and reinstalled.
You won't get charged, again, for the purchases you had already made.
Sorry.

Restore Failure - Could not open connection to helper tool

I created a disk image on an external firewire drive using disk utility.
The external drive is bootable and I run the Disk Utility software from the external drive.
When I try to restore from the image selecting the source and target I get the following error after clicking the "Restore" button:
"Restore Failure
Could not open connection to helper tool."
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
Additional info:
MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel
Tiger 10.4.7
Boot ROM MBP12.0061.B00
SMC 1.5f10
Internal Hard Disk: ST9120821AS
External Hard Disk: FireLite FW800
All software and firmware up-to-date
Disk Utility 10.5.6 (198.12)

I've experienced the same problem. What I know is that we built a system image using Disk Utility on a MacPro and we experience this error when attempting to restore the image on another MacPro using Disk Utility.
I've successfully built system images of MacBook Pros and restored them without any problems. However, I believe I may have built the image using Carbon Copy Cloner. This may warrant some more experimentation using the different utilities.

HT4061 i can not activate my ipad after restored says it needs last owner,not able to locate

cannot activate ipad after restor needs past owners information .unable to locate them

With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.
They should have done this.

Ipad Restore will not go past "preparing ipad for restore"

My ipad is frozen on the "connect to iTunes" screen. iTunes is stuck on "preparing ipad for restore" and will not continue, I have disconnected & turned off the ipad and started over several times. It always does the same thing.
