Hi treetopguy2028,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are referring to when you say that iMessages does not sync. If you are talking about just iMessages proper (iMessage chat messages to other Mac/iOS users, not including SMS/MMS text messages from non-iOS phones), you may want to check that your Apple ID and phone number are correctly linked and configured, as outlined in the following article under the section labeled Use iMessage and FaceTime with multiple devices:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
If you are referring to syncing all messages in iMessage, including SMS/MMS text messages, that would be a function of the new Continuity feature in iOS 8. In that case, this article may be more helpful (Note: Continuity requires iOS 8 on your devices and Yosemite on your Mac):
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
