So what is the problem? Connect your iPad, restore data. Then Copy
across your iTunes library and settings again to your new computer, make
sure iTunes sees the copied data, authorise your iTunes account on the
new computer, and connect the iPad.

The backup on the old laptop didn't restore app content, just restored
naked apps. I don't know how to do the rest. I really would like the old
iTunes back! The new one has dumped iBooks!  It tries to open an empty
useless one on the laptop, but that has nothing in it.

You connected your iPad to the old computer you had been backing up to,
in desktop iTunes you went 'Restore Backup…' in your iPad's 'Summary'
tab, and you picked an appropriate backup to restore from? Are you sure
you didn't backup the iPad with the old computer after your failed
experience with your new computer, leaving the most recent (or more)
backups without app data?

I can only tell you I've restored from backup multiple times, and I
always get everything back as of the time of that backup.

That is not how iOS backups work. It is not possible to "only backup the
apps".

The attempted backup where I apparently did something stupid deleted the
apps. The subsequent backup to the old computer retrieved them, but all
data was missing.

Then the question becomes, why don't you restore your iPad from a good 
backup?  When and if you do so, you can stop whining about those 
things which you clearly do not understand.  It was you or your proxy, 
not Yosemite, who deleted your precious files from your device.

I provided you with a solution.  Now it's up to you to initiate it.

The apps had been emptied by then. In fact, they were gone!  The old backup
could only restore the apps, not their content, which had been wiped by the
other computer. Yes, I know it was a bad move.

No, that is not how backups work. The old backup would restore apps AND
data.

Not exactly. The backup specific to the device contains device settings
(including a list of all the installed apps) and data from each app.

If iTunes is configured to sync with the device, then iTunes keeps a
copy of the apps in its library, separately from the backups (which
makes a lot of sense once you think about what would happen if you had
two or more iOS devices managed from the same instance of iTunes).

The net result is that iTunes will typically have a backup of both the
apps and their data.

On the other hand, if you do a manual backup of the device to iTunes,
and iTunes is NOT syncing with that device, then iTunes may end up with
a backup of the data, but not the apps themselves. The usual solution in
this case is to redownload the apps from App Store when the backup is
restored.

Ok, yeah, but unless you've not synced to desktop iTunes in a while -
and that would be a bit daft to avoid right before transitioning to a
new computer, you'll typically have the apps in desktop iTunes too.

I don't know why, but the backup on the old computer just gave me empty
apps, even though everything had been backed up before the computer went
down to the Mac people.

Did iTunes ever give you errors when trying to backup your iPad? Have
you tried restoring from a less recent backup? Have you no backups of
your iTunes dats (which will include your iPad backups) so you can test
a few going back in time)?

I have encountered backing up that failed, usually because some app was
running on the iOS device that got in the way of backing up - usually
some hefty game that took all the RAM. But never iOS to iTunes backing
up that just flat out failed without error.

Never before. The abominable upgrade dumped the apps completely.

No, it didn't Your ignorance and/or stupidity is ENTIRELY to blame here.

He must have done a full restore to factory settings and NOT a restore from
backup. Now he should do a restore from BACKUP

You are confused.  You appear to have managed to set up your iPad to 
sync with your new computer -- the one running Yosemite.  (Yes, it's 
too bad the software written to run on PPC Macs, which haven't been 
updated in more than a decade, won't run on your new Intel Mac, 
running current software, but you were likely warned of this, just 
like everyone else.

> In fact, they were gone!

That's highly likely.  That you cannot locate your backedup data does 
not mean it doesn't exist.

The other^W new computer didn't wipe out anything by itself.

Since you were incapable of following the quite simple directions I 
provided, you may want to see what Apple has to say about the matter.

iTunes 12 for Mac: Back up your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad

   Backing up means copying certain files and settings from your iOS
   device to your computer. Backing up is one of the best ways to
   make sure you don’t lose the information on your iOS device if
   it’s damaged or misplaced. It’s also useful to have a backup if
   you get a new device and want to transfer your previous settings
   to it.

   iTunes automatically backs up your device when you connect it to
   your computer. But you can also back up your device manually at
   any time. And if you have iOS 3.0 or later, iTunes can encrypt
   your backups to secure your data.

   If you ever need to restore backed-up information to your device,
   you can do so.

Back up your device

    1. Connect your device to the computer you normally sync with.
    2. Click the device button, then click Summary.
       A picture of the device button with Summary selected in the
       sidebar
    3. Click Back Up Now (below Backups).
       To encrypt your backups, select "Encrypt [device] backup,"
       type a password, and click Set Password.

   To see the backups stored on your computer, choose iTunes >
   Preferences and click Devices. Encrypted backups have a lock icon
   in the list of backups.

Restore your device from a backup

    1. Connect your device to the computer you normally sync with.
    2. Click the device button, then click Summary.
       A picture of the device button with Summary selected in the
       sidebar
=>  3. Click Restore Backup.
       If your backup is encrypted, iTunes asks you to enter the
       password before restoring your files and settings.

=> Automatically backed-up information includes text messages,
=> notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget
=> settings, and more. In addition, photos in Camera Roll or Saved
=> Photos are also backed up. Other media files (such as songs,
=> videos, and some photos) aren’t backed up, but can be restored by
=> [12]syncing with iTunes.

   For more information, see the User Guide for your device or the
   [13]Apple Support website.

So where are your iPad backups and your backups of the iTunes data
containing the iPad backup, now?
