<p>I've bought Bitcoins and had them directed to a wallet on the Bitcoin-Qt software. Unfortunately I was not aware of the sync process. And now I've got no access to the Btc's and I feel like the syncing will never happen.</p>

<p>Running on Mac OS X 10.8.5

<p>Running Bitcoin v0.8.5</p>

<p>Thanks so much.</p>

You can quickly import your wallet to blockchain.info, which will give you instant access to your funds.

I do not recommend you leave your funds in a web-based wallet like Blockchain.info's for longer than you need to, but they are generally regarded as being trustworthy.

Find your `wallet.dat` in `/Users/<name>/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/`, and follow the instructions on the page below.
