Michele, Thanks for replying. I did back up my iPad, however, the personnel at the Apple store said if I restored from the backup it would recreate the crashing problems I had with my ipad2. What do I do? I want the text messages back, they are on my iphone6 and my computer in iMessage, not on my iPad 2, but I don't want the slow iPad and the crashing to return!

Take a look at this:

Use Continuity to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support


I don't use continuity so I am not 100% sure if old text messages will appear on the iPad or just the new ones after enabling continuity.
