Howdy flyinsassy,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.


If you want to transfer your messages and other content from your previous iPad to a new one, then you can back up your previous iPad using iTunes, and then restore your new iPad from the backup. In the first article below you can see what iTunes backs up, and in the second article are instructions on how to back up and restore.

Have a great weekend,
