Hi, I have a problem with my bitcoin-qt on a mac os x. I sent money to a bitcoin address in bitcoin-qt. But everytime it crashes after 5-6 days of syncronisation. And the second problem is I can't find my wallet file (*.wallet). My wallet is encrypted. And I do not know how to get it decrypted, because this function is deactivated. Further I have opened online a blockchain account. How can I transfer the money from the 1Czh.... bitcoin address to my blockchain account (online wallet)? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Please help me! thanks and bests Caarly

The name of the wallet file is wallet.dat search bitcoin data dir for the path on MacOS. In the same dir (or a subdir) should be a log file, what does it say about the crash? Does it crash with a msg? If so which? You cant should not send if your wallet is not fully synced.

Your wallet file (which is named "wallet.dat") should be located in "~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/". Blockchain.info has an import function where you can upload your old wallet, but if you post the relevant section of your debug.log file (the bit right around a crash) we may be able to help fix the issue. Also, have you tried using the bootstrap torrent instead of syncing via the network? It should be considerably faster, and it might fix your issue.

bootstrap.dat is just a download that gets you pretty far along in the sync. By the way, make sure that you have "app nap" turned OFF for bitcoin on Mac OS X. In the Finder use "Get Info" and make sure that "Prevent App Nap" is checked. Anyway, a location for the torrent is here: https://bitcoin.org/en/downloadSome discussion here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=447749.0and here: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/20847/how-to-use-the-bootstrap-dat-in-mavericksThe wallet directory/data directory is here: "/Users/<your-user-name>/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin" which is the same as: "~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/" You can put the torrent in there. You should ALSO make a backup of your wallet if you don't already have several. Just to be safe when screwing around in there. Hopefully that helps a bit.

Thanks in advance!
Aside from the orphaned transactions (which may be due to the blockchain still syncing), Bitcoin-Qt appears to be shutting down normally. I don't use OSX, but I've heard of "App Nap" causing problems a few times before, so that would be my first suspect. The bootstrap.dat torrent is a faster way of downloading the blockchain; instead of downloading it all from the Bitcoin network, you can download it more quickly through BitTorrent, then close Bitcoin-Qt, place the file in your datadir ("~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/"), and reopen Bitcoin-Qt. The file will then be used instead of the network, which is considerably faster, though it still takes a while for the blockchain to be is verified and indexed. After it's done (the last few weeks of the download will probably be over the network, as the torrent isn't continuously updated) you can delete the bootstrap.dat file to save space.

If your wallet was empty, you can just delete it and start over. Your bitcoin block chain files appear to be corrupted. You must save a backup of your wallet, delete everything and start over with a clean download.

Hi,
so, first I have downloaded the bootstrap.dat file and copied in "/Users/<your-user-name>/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin". Second I deactivate the app nap in Mac OS Maverick. Third I start the bitcoin application.
Should it not work faster with this file now? I mean the synchronisation.
Thanks

Still having trouble? Did you delete your old block chain data and every file other than your wallet, and redownload the block chain?

Couple of questions: 1. What version of bitcoin are you running? If it is qt, it may be old. 2. How much memory do you have? ( vs disk space) 3. Have you tried running Disk Utility to check your drive? (Make sure you have a backup). 4. What version of OS X are you running? Good luck Hi,

Hi,
here are my answers: 1. QT: Version 4.8.4 – If it’s old what should I do now? 2. 8 GB RAM vs. HDD (25,33 GB free) 3. No check with a Disk Utility before. Should I do make a Backup first? (Time-Backup?) Can you prefer a freeware Disk Utility? 4. OS X version: 10.9.5
Thanx

Hi, 1. I guess I wasn't clear, sorry, if you are running 'Bitcoin Qt' then you are running an old version of bitcoin. The current version isn't called 'Bitcoin Qt' anymore, but Bitcoin Core. Are you running 0.9.3? 2. It sounds like you have enough RAM. I might worry about the amount of disk space remaining given the size of the blockchain and Mac OS X usage etc. If you run low on disk space, that can cause problems. I recall OS X needing at least 10 GB of free space (as of a few years ago) to avoid issues. So, you might think about freeing some space if you intend on running a full node. Or putting the blockchain on an external drive. The block chain is around 23GB so if you download it all (and don't have most downloaded already), you'll be running very low on space. 3. I would always make sure I had a backup of my disk and wallet whenever doing any repairs. Preferably more than one backup if you have important things on it. Disk Utility is in /Applications/Utilities/ and it is free from Apple. It can check your disk and repair it - permissions and file structure. :-) Time Machine is a good option so you always have a backup available. This might not be your problem, but it could be. 4. Good it is the current version and not something like 10.1. Hi,
here are my answers: 1. QT: Version 4.8.4 – If it’s old what should I do now? 2. 8 GB RAM vs. HDD (25,33 GB free) 3. No check with a Disk Utility before. Should I do make a Backup first? (Time-Backup?) Can you prefer a freeware Disk Utility? 4. OS X version: 10.9.5

Hi,
Here are my answers: 1.) Bitcoin-Version v0.8.1-beta Dieses Programm verwendet Qt Version 4.8.4. This is the info which I get from the bitcoin software.
What should I do now? I have not Bitcoin Core with version 0.9.3.
Should I download this software and transfer (with copy and paste) it in the program folder and start the sync again?
2.) Is 30 GB less now on my mac? I have 30 GB free now.
3.) I did a check with disk utility: Here is the result
Volume „Macintosh HD“ überprüfenDateisystem prüfenLive-Verifizierung durchführen.HFS+ Volume (Journaled) überprüfen.Zusatzdatei für Dateiaufbau wird überprüft.Kataloghierarchie wird überprüft.Datei für erweiterte Attribute wird überprüft.Falsche Anzahl an erweiterten Attributen(„432818“ sollte anstelle von „432814“ stehen)Volume-Bitmap wird überprüft.Volume-Bitmap muss aufgrund verwaister Blöcke geringfügig repariert werdenUngültige Anzahl freier Blöcke(„12978214“ sollte anstelle von „7446972“ stehen)Das Volume „Macintosh HD“ ist beschädigt und muss repariert werden.Fehler: Dieses Volume muss unter Verwendung der Wiederherstellungspartition (Recovery HD) repariert werden. Starten Sie den Computer neu und halten Sie die Befehlstaste und die Taste „R“ gedrückt, bis das Apple-Logo angezeigt wird. Wählen Sie im Fenster „OS X Dienstprogramme“ die Option „Festplattendienstprogramm“.
So, I think I have a problem. - So, is this a normal or a serios problem?
Go by restoring lost data? Will my MAC system look different after the restore?
Is it a problem if my wallet is encrypted and locked?
Thanks and
best regards

You dont have to sync again you can just install it "over" the existing files. -snip- 3.) I did a check with disk utility: Here is the result

If you restore lost data make sure you backup your wallet.dat first. Your HDD seems to have problems. See here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory#MacYou can also start the bitcoin client and use the option the backup the wallet. It will ask you where to store the file. Choose something you will find again and control (e.g. USB Stick) Is it a problem if my wallet is encrypted and locked?
Thanks and

shorena made all the points I'd have made - just want to emphasize what he says above. Backup the wallet.dat file in several places. And make sure that you can unlock it there before you do anything. It is better to be safe. (Of course if you have 0.00001 BTC in there, it probably doesn't matter).

Hi,
you give me good tips. Thank you! I will test it soon, but now I have another question:
Is it possible to start the sync with an another bitcoin program, like multibit, under windows 7? I store before syncing my wallet from the mac os in the multibit file folder. And I store the bootstrap-file (23 GB) which I downloaded with torrent software.
Is this example possible?
thanks and

No, Multibit is not a full client and does not need the blockchain available locally.
