BitcoinQt shows different balance than blockchain.info

[arcus_00]

Hello everybody,

As the title says, bitocoinQt shows another account balance than blockchain.info..I thought I understood how bitcoins work, but
this really screws with my head.

I know from the transactions I made, that my balance should be above 14BTC, and that what bitcoinQt tells me. If I sum up all the transactions,
which are shown by bitcoinQt, I get a balance of  14.6380, but if I sum up all transactions from blockchain.info I get a balance of  12.2629.

How is that possible?
A few days ago I made a transaction of 0.2 BTC according to blockchain.info, another 2.3BTC got transferred together with those 0.2.
BitcoinQt shows, that only  0.2BTC were transferred from my account.
Can anybody tell me whats going on??

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Sorry, for reposting...I just realized, that the post just before mine has the same topic...I don't know how I could not see that but still my question
remains unanswered.

No worries, your bitcoin is safe and is in your change address.

Ok, great...that's something completely new to me. Thanks for sharing this link...But I think it's rather strange, that the wallet only shows one address and none of the change addresses.
So if I export my wallet from bitcoinQt, the *.dat file contains private keys for several addresses, right?

When I realized, that bitcoinQt shows another amount, than the wallet address holds, I tried to transfer the whole amount and I saw that the missing coins came from different addresses...so that makes sense now too.

Thanks a lot!

It's not you arcus_00. "Change" confuses a lot of people.
