<p>I downloaded Bitcoin. qt and started the sync (which was going to take about 6 days UGH) so about 4 days into it i tried to open the app and Now the app shows "error loading blkindex.dat" So i cannot access my wallet on my computer and never really got a chance to backup or encrypt anything... </p>

<p>I've tried using blockchain.info's desktop sync function but literally nothing happens when i press "download address list" on step 3...????</p>

<p>I have also tried MtGox but i can't find anywhere to upload my wallet.dat file...</p>

<p>Is there ANY WAY i can get my coins? </p>

<p>I'm running Mac OS X. Be as specific as you can please :) </p>

As long as your wallet.dat file is uncorrupted/unstolen, your coins are fine. Try backing up the wallet.dat file, uninstalling Bitcoin, then reinstalling.

[Blockchain.info/wallet](http://blockchain.info/wallet) has the ability to import individual private keys as well. The [private keys can be exported](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/5933/153) now right from the Bitcoin-Qt client (v0.7 and higher) directly without the need for pywallet or any other utility.
