Thx.

You are still syncing. You do not need to wait 1 year, that just means that the latest block it has is from 1 year and 31 weeks ago. That means that anything that came after that block (including the transaction that sent Bitcoin to your address) is not known and thus the balance is not there. All you have to do is wait for it to fully sync. It will take a few hours and up to a few days at most.

Once you sync up to the block that your transaction is in then it will appear in your account, you dont have to do anything but wait for your wallet to sync.  Just keep your client open.  :)

 :D

Just open the Bitcoin Core client & leave it running until it's fully synced. On average that 1 year & 32 weeks should take 24-48 hours until you're upto date.

Your bitcoin(s) will show in your balance when you are fully synced, don't worry they haven't gone anywhere, you haven't lost them.

For peace of mind you can copy & paste the public (receiving) address that you sent the coins to into a block explorer, your balance will be displayed there.

Chill!
