I assume so; I'm running Mavericks and don't intend to go to Yosemite
any time soon.

On the new machine, mount the disk from the old machine that has the
old version and navigate to its Applications folder. Open the
Applications folder of your new machine. Then drag the old app across
with the mouse - y'know, same as you would for moving any file.

That's beyond what I know how to do, I fear.  How do you drag from one
machine to another with a mouse?

You turn on file sharing on the old machine and mount the old machine
as a volume on the new machine by selecting Go -> Connect to Server on
the new machine in the Finder. If the old machine appears and mounts as
a volume on your new machine, double click on the volume icon and
navigate to the Applications folder on the new machine and drag the
application icon to the Applications folder on the new machine.

If the old machine doesn't appear, then you can use a USB drive or a
file sharing service like Dropbox.

OK, I'll save this and try it. When I get my nerve back.

I've been doing that since my first Mac.  Exactly how do you drag with a

Are you just being disingenuous? We do this all the time with our 
computers. The oul' Woman has a file needs my attention, she puts it on 
her desktop. I mount her drive on my machine, navigate to her Desktop 
and drag it to mine and open it.

Fuck me, George, learn to read what I wrote. You mount the disk from
the other machine on your Desktop. Then you open a Finder window on
that disk, and navigate to the Applications folder so you can see your
old Pages. You can do cmd-I (Get Info) on that app to confirm that it's
the old version. If you open a Finder window on your local boot disk,
where the Applications folder is, and open that, you can *then* drag
the old Pages from the old machine into your new one's Applications
folder.

Not exactly rocket science. As we say - simples.

I admit to stupidity, though I prefer to call it incomprehension. I 
still don,t understand how that "disk" gets from one to the other.

You don't know how to enable and use simple file sharing on a Mac to
copy a file/folder from one Mac to another over your home network?

File sharing isn't an experiment - it's a basic computing concept that
has been around for decades.

As you find even the most basic of functions beyond your limited 
abilities, you might consider making less of a nuisance of yourself, 
by requesting answers you will undoubtedly find incomprehensible. 
Please make an appointment at the Genius Bar, pack up your old laptop 
running ML, your iPad and your new computer running Yosemite up, and 
take all three items to your Apple Store.

Once you and your hardware are all at the store, at the same time, ask 
them to do the _migration_ from your old laptop, to the new computer.  
Once the migration is completed, all applications which will run under 
the up-to-date OS will have transferred to the new machine, your files, 
libraries, music, media, iBooks will now reside on the new computer.

The migration may take several hours, depending on how much data 
you're moving.

Next, request that your genius do the synchronization of your iPad for 
you, as it is so far beyond your skill set, as to boggle the 
imagination.

If you Genius doesn't have to explain anything to you, none of which 
is likely to stick, it will make everything go much more quickly.

Depending on what you normally load onto your iPad, this, too, may 
take hours.

Finally, ask your Genius how you can learn to sync your iPad, so that 
your music, media, whatever other documents and files your whining 
aren't 'in your applications' and iBooks appear on both your iPad and 
your new Mac.  Pay close attention.  Once you have this 
synchronization process configured, on your _new_ computer, the one 
that scares the shit out of your, but which you really haven't bothered 
to learn, only sync to that new computer running Yosemite.

Remember, your Genius appointment will be a waste of time, if you do 
not bring all of the gear, at the same time.

You may not understand how to network your devices, but they'll be 
able to do it for you, at the Apple Store.

Print this message out and bring it with you on your visit to the 
Apple store.  This is probably the best advice you've received, since 
getting in way over your head, when you bought your new Mac.

Face it, you're technically declined.

There is no such thing anywhere I can reach. When I bought this thing, all
the files from my old laptop were transferred to the new one by a tech at a
place that specializes in Apple hard- and software and service, though not
one of those iStores. The plan was that I would then delete the ones that
didn't work, but in the case of many, I didn't have a chance to even try
that, as Yosemite apparently immediately converted many to its own version
when I tried to open them.

There is a HUGE difference, between copying everything from the old 
Mac, to the new one, and hoping everything gets sorted out in the end, 
and migration.  I suspect your Mac specialist followed your 
instructions, rather than doing things the right way.  This is the 
source of almost all your self-inflicted frustrations and 
misconceptions regarding Yosemite.

Again, bring your complete kit to the Apple store and have them do the 
proper migrations.

P.S. Migration is offered the very first time one boots a new Mac, as 
part of the initial setup.

It does not get from one to the other, a hard drive in one computer 
stays hard and in place in that computer. But a wire (like Firewire or 
USB cable or wifi maybe) can make *an icon* of that disk appear 
another computer. The icon is *caused* by the hard drive in the first 
computer like a light is caused to come on by the switch that is 
distant. And that icon, suitably clicked, can make appearances on this 
second computer that reveal the contents of that disk etc.
