Introduction

Your store’s iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch demo units should always have up-to-date demo content on them. This guide will help you manage them. You’ll learn how to set up your “restore computer”—the one that you’ll use to sync your demo units—as well as configure them. Most importantly, it includes the steps to conduct maintenance for your demo units. A single restore kit installation will allow you to restore demo content on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch demo units.

What do I need to do to prepare?Before you begin, make sure you do the following:

• Identify which Mac you’ll use to restore/refresh the content on your demo models

• Verify that your restore computer has an Internet connection

• Open ports 80 and 443 to *apple.com and *edgesuite.net (if you use a firewall and a proxy server)

• Install iLife ’11 (if necessary)

• Create a separate user account with software installation privileges on the restore computerCaution: the iOS Demo Restore Kit will overwrite the iTunes library for this user account

• Run “Software Update” and install the following (if offered):

- iTunes 10.2.1 (or later)

- iPhoto 8.1.2 (or later)

- iLife Support 9.0.4 (or later)

• Download the most recent version of the iOS Demo Content Restore Kit disk image files to the restore computer

• Set up demo unit(s) and 30-pin dock connector to USB cable(s)

• Verify that the demo unit(s) have the latest iOS software installed (iOS 4.3 or later)

What do I do?From the Mac designated as the restore computer, make sure you do the following:

• Launch iPhoto at least one time—just start it and then quit—from the new user account created to run the restore kit.

• Follow the instructions in the “Installing the iOS Demo Content Restore Kit” section (page 4) to install the kit onto your restore computer’s separate account.

• Run the Restore from Backup command and then sync the content from iTunes to your demo unit as described in “Restoring Demo Content on a Demo Unit” (page 7).

• Confirm the restore process is successful by following the “Post-Restore Settings and Checks” (page 9).

• Restore the demo units often—at least weekly.

Installing the iOS Demo Content Restore Kit

Designate a restore computer and create a new administrator user account on it that’s specifically for restoring demo content on demo units. If you already have a demo user account on it with a previous version of the Restore Kit, go to Appendix A and follow the instructions for uninstalling it.

The restore kit contains two installer files. You'll install both of them and they'll delete and replace the iTunes library, music files, and photo folders on the account—so be sure that you install it on the demo account. You only need to install the Restore Kit one time on this user account to restore the demo content on each of the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch demo units.

See Appendix A for instructions on how to create a new user account.

Step-by Step1. Quit iTunes and iPhoto before you begin the installation process.

2. Locate the downloaded iOS Demo Content Restore Kit installer files.

3. Double-click the first disk image segment.

4. Double-click the installer package to open it.

5. Click Continue on the Welcome screen.

8. Wait for the installer to finish.

9. Click Close when the installer has finished.

This completes the installation of the iOS Demo Content Restore Kit.

Your restore computer now contains the latest iTunes preferences and demo content for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You're now ready to sync the content to your demo units. These are the same steps you'll complete when you refresh the demo units each night.

Restoring Demo Content on a Demo UnitThis process can also be used to 'convert' a standard retail iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch into a demo unit.

Your demo unit needs to be refreshed frequently in case you or your customers make changes to it. It’s best to refresh demo content often—at least weekly. Let’s look at the steps for restoring the demo unit content.

Step-by Step1. Open iTunes.

2. Connect a demo unit to the computer.

The unit’s name appears in the iTunes device list, and its Summary pane appears in the main iTunes window.

3. Click the demo unit’s name in the device list, then simultaneously hold down the Control key and click the mouse button.

4. Choose Restore From Backup from the shortcut menu that appears.

Warning:

Do not click the Restore button in the Summary tab of the main window. If you do you’ll start a full software restore on the demo unit. This will erase all demo content and settings, and it will take 20 minutes or more to get your demo unit back to a demonstration state.

6. Wait for the restore to complete.

7. Wait for the demo unit to restart (or click OK in the dialog that appears).

8. When the device’s name and Summary panel appear, click Sync. Refer to the image in Step 2.

9. Wait for the syncing process to complete.

10. Click the eject icon in the Devices list to safely eject the demo unit from the computer.

11. Detach it from the restore computer and perform the Post-Restore Settings and Checks, as described on the following pages.
