when i enter my seed it seem like  empty the option to click on next appears like no seed was writen,

if by this you mean the button stays disabled (grey) then i can only think of two possibilities:
1. you are typing the seed wrong, whether you are confusing one word with another or some spelling error, or you have written it down incorrectly.
to fix this take a look at this (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/lib/wordlist/english.txt) and see which word you are typing wrong.

2. the tails electrum was not the real electrum and you used a modified fake version (this is very unlikely) but unless you have verified the signatures of the downloaded tails and you are sure you created the wallet in a safe environment, i would  consider this possibility.

Check if the Bitcoin you sent to your electrum wallet is till in the address you sent it to using a block explorer like this one.

http://blockchain.info/

Is the Bitcoin still in the same address or has it moved? If it's still in the same address you probably used the real electrum, not a modified fake version.

Was the version of electrum you used in tails an old version? Try upgrading to the latest version of electrum then using your seed in that.

It helps if you break down your post into sentences.

I created my seed using tails after created it all was fine,
You created a seed using tails?? This is a little bit confusing. Do you mean you used Electrum on TailsOS to create the seed... or you used some other app/utility in TailsOS to create a seed that you are trying to import into Electrum? Huh


...but when i enter my seed it seem like  empty the option to click on next appears like no seed was writen, i tryed using electrum on windows but does not work, the setting i set up on the wallet was standar wallet, 
so, "next" button stays greyed out when attempting to re-enter seed and you cannot click it right? This indicates that you have entered the seed incorrectly. There are a lot of similar words like kite, kit, kid, kind etc... as already suggested check the wordlist that was linked and see if you can find either a misspelled word, or very similar words to ones you already have... you may have just missed a single letter.

Can you confirm that you have 12 words written down? DO NOT post them here!

...the founds appears when i enter the btc addres generated with the seed on the option watch bitcoin addresses...
So when you create a watching wallet using the address (and one would assume when you check on a block explorer), the BTC are still in that address... that would most likely rule out the possibility of the tails and/or Electrum that you used to create the seed being "fake"... no-one has "stolen" your coins, so that's one less thing to worry about.

Before to write my answer im sorry by the grammar mistakes but this is not my firts language is just that i have more chance to receive right answers doing my post on this language. Well i wrote the seed right i made a copy of this in paper and i tryed to recover my wallet after create this one to prove if it works  and i did it, but this is not all happen to me electrum give me the same problem when i was creating other wallet i made a copy of the seed on paper and give me the same problem to cofirm the seed so to let me sure to write the seed right i copy it from the area it appear on the electrum wallet and paste it to confirm and give me the same problem.

The bitcoins are still there, i installed electrum on windows and i checked it from electrum on the option watch bitcoin address, this is the latest version of electrum that i installed on windows and doesnt let me recover it

So you used Electrum to create the seed, not some other program?

What was the version of Electrum on your TailsOS that you used to create the seed? Was it a 12 word or 13 word seed?

i copy it from the area it appear on the electrum wallet and paste it to confirm and give me the same problem.

how did you do this? electrum doesn't allow you to copy paste that.


did you check the wordlist that pooya posted above? are all the words in your seed in that list and spelled correctly?

where did you download tails os from? what website?
