So my Windows HD is not starting and i dont have time to deal with it, I have another HD with hackintosh where I can see all my windows files in the other HD. If I download Armory for MAC, how can import my Armory wallet from windows without opening it?

I have a paper wallet but I'd prefer not to use it.

Thanks!

The Armory file format is the same across platforms, so you should be able to use the 'Wallets -> Import or Restore Wallet' menu option to import an Armory .wallet file.

This will tell you where to find your wallet file on your old hard drive for most operating systems: https://bitcoinarmory.com/faq/#q3

Perfect! I just imported them. Now, I can't seem to get my Armory client online to check my balance with the blockchain and download a database. Is Armory online feature not available on mac?

I'm sure that feature is available, but I'm afraid I know next to nothing about OS X and so I probably can't help you very much...

Just like on other OS's, you do need Bitcoin Core installed and synced. Have you done that yet?
