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.
