I believe i correctly backed up the keystore files, however, once I copied the keystore file back into my new ethereum directory, it doesnt show my funds in my wallet. Do i need to enter my password somewhere? Or is it because the wallet is not synchronised yet? thank you

Copying keystore folder(your private keys) gives you only the access to your account (send/receive) the amount is stored in the blockchain(chaindata folder) so you need to synchronize your client or you can use an online wallet like https://www.myetherwallet.com

  • having a similiar issue - I can "see" my account, blockchain is synced since two days. What does it mean to "synchronize client"? – pebwindkraft Jun 24 '17 at 14:16
