iMessages before 12/4/22 Not syncing to iPad or new Mac Book Pro

During the recent introduction of Ventura, Apple massively 're-arranged the furniture' inside messages. Going forward, your messages are now end-to-end encrypted to and from iCloud.

Users found some relief by logging out and back in AND restarting every device involved.

I don't know how to make it appear on your Mac if it refuses to.

Going forward, Apple will tell you to subscribe to sharing messages using your iCloud account, but that does not solve the current situation.

I searched around a little and came up with a blog article that seems accurate.

First, the author talks about one or two messages, but if you look further down, there is a solution to select one message, add a Bunch more messages to that collection, then send the entire group of messages out as a new text message, or save to a pdf on your phone, drop in pages on your phone, and print on an AirPrint printer.

look under the heading "copy several messages"

Maybe this article would be from a less dangerous and destructive site:
