Thank you, Pat Taylor.? I did all that, but Messages on Mac does not show any of the past messages or contacts that Messages on the iPad and iPhone do.? (They are the same on iPad and iPhone.)? In Messages on the Mac, all I see is Search, To, and a blue rectangle that says New Message.

Try tapping New Message, send one to yourself and see if it shows up on all your devices.
