Unable to restore iTunes files from Quarantine
Created: 25 Jan 2013 | Updated: 25 Jan 2013 | 9 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I have a user who attempted to backup his iPad on a Windows 7 computer. The iTunes software said to upgrade OS on iPad. After the user upgraded OS on iPad, his SEP 11 client (11.0.5002.333) quarantined four files. When he attempts to restore these files, he gets an error.
I went into SEP Management Console (SEP 12 RU2), and searched for these quarantined files.
I then selected both entries and choose all actions, i.e. add risk, add file, add folder, add extension to Exceptions policy. Plus I also selected Trust Web domain.
None of this is working. When I try to restore, I still get error.
The user is really really really anxious to restore these files, please advise.

First, I get prompt, "Are you sure you want to restore the selected files?" I click Yes.
Then, I get error, "Attempt to Restore Item from Quarantine Failed." I click OK.
Then, I get another error, "An error occurred while restoring an item." I click OK.

And the directory to restore the files is
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
I noticed the AppData folder was faded, so I right-clicked it, selected Properties, and cleared "Hidden" and "Read-Only", but I am still unable to restore the quarantined files!!!

I've seen this when the file was actually deleted or the location couldn't be accessed for some reasonm usually because of rights. Can you give it full access and try again?

Oh Dear, I hope the file has not been deleted!
But where can I find these quarantined files, because they obviously are not where they are supposed to be, i.e.
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

Brian, it seems the files were deleted, the user will try something else then.

I think that restore from Quarantine will fail if it cannot recreate the original folder name. There is code to create the folders in the original path - but it is rudimentary and is not used in all cases.
In Quarantine - look at the full path of the detected file - this is where it should be restored. You might try creating the original folderpath before attempting the Restore.
