If that backup hasn't been replaced, you can copy it to the new laptop
and then use it to restore the iPad from backup.

The easiest way to locate the backup on the old computer is:

1. Run iTunes.
2. Go into Preferences (in the bold iTunes menu).
3. Click on the Devices category.
4. Locate the backup you want. Make a note of its date/time.
5. Control-click or right click on it and choose Show in Finder.

This will reveal a folder called Backups, with one or more subfolders
with non-obvious names containing lots of alphanumeric characters. The
one which is highlighted is the backup you want. That highlighted folder
(with its complex name) needs to be copied to the new computer.

I suggest copying that folder to the desktop on the new computer, then
moving it to the right place.

Before moving the folder, if iTunes is running on the new computer, quit
it.

The location to which the folder needs to be copied for recent iTunes
and OS X versions is:

~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup

That's the Library folder inside your home folder: in recent OS X
versions you can get to it in Finder by holding down the Option key,
clicking on the Go menu and choosing Library. Then go into the
Application Support subfolder, then into MobileSync, then into Backup.

Once you are in the Backup folder, you can drag the copy of the backup
from the desktop.

After the backup is in the right place, run iTunes again, connect the
iPad and tell iTunes to do a restore, this time picking the copied
backup from the list (identified by its date/time).

And what happened to your backups of the iTunes data from your older
machine? What happened to the older computer itself, with it's data?

I'm using it for foto editing and newsgroups not in Newstap on the iPad. It
couldn't restore the app data because the new machine had dumped them and
it restored them empty.

so what? do another full restore, this time from your actual backup,
which will wipe the emptiness and restore your apps and data.

Enilar, I've known nospam for may years and have had many happy

What is an "empty app" and how does it differ from a full one ??

Fine, so you've now got the old Pages on your new machine. So use it.

It's, as usual with "up"grades, missing functions I used regularly. I
presume there are the additional useless bells and whistles I have no use
for.

Then it's not the old Pages, is it?

But I kept asking you if you'd copied the old Pages from the old
machine to the new one. You keep insisting you have but now it turns
out you haven't.

The downgrade came with Yosemite.  I have an older version on iPad and old
laptop.

First, why on earth did you cc this thread to travel and medieval-

fixing your iPad backup problem.

Second, please learn to trim unneeded quotage. You've got umpteen
layers of wasted space here. As near as I can tell from that mass
of text, the attributions aren't even all correct.

Third,  you said you restored the iPad from your backups, but now
you say that Pages is *not* the same version but a newer one that
you don't like. If that's the case, then obviously you didn't restore
from your backups (which people have been pointing out to you for two
days now). It sounds like you simply went into your purchase history
on Apple's site and got the latest versions of all the apps you had
previously bought. No wonder you aren't seeing any of your own data.
