Let Armory sync fully then you'll be able to see your balance.
Actually, are you running Bitcoin Core manually? If so, I would close Armory until you see the green checkmark in the bottom-right corner. Armory can sync find after Core is complete, but sometimes has trouble thinking it is done synchronizing and "drinking from the firehose" (i.e. processing hundreds of blocks per second).
Yeah I believe I am running the Core manually. The Core says it's (out of sync) so maybe that has something to do with it, but it doesn't seem to be moving very fast? How long does the core usually take to sync?
A very, very long time. This is why many people don't use Core (and thus Armory). This is also why Armory implemented a torrent-based download feature when you use auto-bitcoind (which unfortunately isn't available on MacOSX). People have reported 3-6 days to do the initial sync because of a very inefficient bootstrapping algorithm in Core. Armory (the company) runs a bunch of seedboxes over torrent which allows you download at the maximum rate of your connection. I can sync from nothing in about 6 hours -- about 2 hrs to download then 4 hours for Core to index it and Armory to build its own databases.
Thank you very much for this info. Seems like a lot of trouble. I assume I have to wait until Armory is synced before I am able to transfer those funds to yet another wallet?
