If a friend was driving your car and got into an accident but was not at fault who pays for damages in New Jersey?
If you gave the friend permission to be driving your motor vehicle then you are responsible for the damage. If you can prove your friend's negligence, then it might be worth talking to an attorney. If you were in a simple accident, your friend had permission, and it's not his fault, then the other driver is responsible, provided they are legit drivers, have licenses, and are insured. Let's say your buddy was rear-ended. The other guy is the at-fault driver. His liability coverage should pay for the cost of repairs to your vehicle. But if he's carrying only the minimum liability insurance, it may not be enough to cover the entire cost. That's where your un-/under-insured policy kicks in.
Is an insured driver on your policy responsible for damages that they have not repaired on your vehicle?
== == In the event that you got into a car accident and it was not your fault but the other driver's, if he is insured, his insurance company is liable to pay for the damages of your vehicle. On the other hand, if the other driver is not insured, your own insurance company, provided you have a policy regarding uninsured or underinsured drivers, will be responsible for the damages your vehicle has incurred. They however, may have a right of action against the person responsible for the accident. The person who caused the damage to your vehicle is ultimately responsible for the damage to your vehicle regardless of whether there is an applicable insurance coverage or not. Whether you actually have the repairs done is none of their business.
Is an uninsured driver that is driving an insured car covered if he gets in an accident?

If an uninsured driver of an insured driver's car has an accident caused by weather and another driver is damage to the insured car covered?
How is the driver uninsured? If he had permission from the insured vehicle owner to drive? There are policy exclusion that apply but most generally that person is considered as an insured driver. I will assume (for the purpose of answering your question) by uninsured driver you mean they have no policy of their own. Are you asking if weather conditons contributed to the accident (say wet/slick road) and they slid into another vehicle is the insurance on the car responsible for the damage to the vehicle they slid into? Yes, probably. Insurance stays with the car. If you could provide more detailed information regarding the driver, and facts of loss, I could be of more assistance to you.

If a stolen car hit a parked car can the stolen cars owner not be held responsible even if a police report for the stolen car was placed after the hit and run was filled?
Assuming the stolen car was insured, the stolen cars insurance would be responsible. If the stolen car was not insured, the driver, if located would be responsible. If not located then the owner would probably be held responsible. Hopefully the struck vehicle is insured for "uninsured motorist" coverage. Filing the report after the accident would document the theft, but not neccesarily clear the owner of responsibility.
