I made a transaction on March 13th, transferring .88 BTC from my desktop wallet to another account. I have a Mac and am using Bitcoin-Qt version v0.8.1-beta. The transaction did not go through, my wallet is "out of sync", and I do not have the .88 BTC in my wallet anymore. I have scoured the internet trying to solve this problem and have not found anything yet. Any help is MUCH appreciated!

You can see when is your transaction with : https://blockchain.info
If your wallet is out of sync don't worry, it's normal that you don't see the transaction. If you sent BTC from A to B, B will see the transaction when he's synced.

My transaction does not show up on the blockchain, and it did not go through to btcsportsbet, the recepient. How do I recover my BTC?– NickyApr 2, 2013 at 17:45

You got something to search for the transaction in BlockChain ? ATM let A and B sync completely :) If you don't have enter the wrong address it's impossible that you lost your BTC.– NontendaApr 2, 2013 at 19:19
I solved my own problem. If others have this problem, the easiest solution is to find your wallet.dat file on your Mac, which is in in ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/
Import this folder into a new wallet on Blockchain.info. Your balance will show up in there and you will have access to your BTC.
That was fairly simple and I spent way to much time on that!

Can you clarify this process please? I transferred my bitcoins from one machine to another and it is unconfirmed. Does this mean I need to find my old machine to copy the wallet.dat file?
