How do I sync my Bitcoin-QT wallet with my Blockchain wallet? I originally created my blockchain wallet with my Bitcoin-QT wallet dat file but I notice the balance in my Bitcoin-QT wallet is different (higher) than my Blockchain wallet.

You can't do that, because Bitcoin-qt is always creating new addresses to send change to, so those addresses will not be part of the blockchain.info wallet you imported. Sooner or later the addresses will be out-of-sync, like they already are in this case.

Now that they are out-of-sync what are my options?

I don't know specifics, like which wallet has the bigger balance, etc., so I can't say.

The Bitcoin-QT wallet has the larger balance.

You could try sending the entre balance to a newly generated address on bitcoin-qt and check if any coins remain at blockchain.info. If the blockchain.info wallet gets zero balance after you do that, all is OK and there are no mixed up funds.

BTW: only do what I said if you're comfortable enough using pywallet, in case you need to delete the transaction from bitcoin-qt's wallet to get your coins back, if anything goes wrong.
