Ok so i rescaned but it doesn't seem to have done anything. Do i need to wait a while. Also while reloading the block index help?
You can check with blockchain.info to see any transactions that were sent. If they appear in Blockchain.info, and they are for addresses in your wallet, then you should see them in your wallet as well.
If they don't show on blockchain.info, then they weren't sent and the problem isn't on your side (receiving end) but instead on the other side (sending end).
