okay i am somewhat lost on this.....
i import my privkey and scans the blockchain... shows available balance.. but when i do it again adding another it re scans and then doesnt show it?
i try to add the 1st one again and comes back with null meaning i assume is already added so how come it inst showing the balance still?
electrum shows balences but when i try to spend from them it comes back server didnt respond... i dont know why... and always wants to sync...
So if i do whats outlined here and it scans it once with all the keys is it going to show the correct balances?

Where are you copying these keys from? It could be the application you copied from is representing newlines with incompatible control characters? Try pasting the keys into a different text editor and enable "Show Line Endings", or something to that effect. Windows typically feeds newlines as CRLF (Carriage Return, Line Feed), Linux is usually just LF.
The original Bitcoin Core client can bulk import from a text file, if that text file is actually a batch file with RPC commands:
With some text editing you can make your list of privkeys into such a list of commands, and save it as import.cmd and run (notice the last line has "true" at the end to start reindexing).
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoin-cli.exe" importprivkey L4mP3joYEhSv1ofdsWbz8xEmqCmYK9vGyi8mJmWWbh79Xx2NsS1M importedaddress1 false
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoin-cli.exe" importprivkey Ky2EGjWLhfKv1sWnPcuN4SHF2iALj6SfK7hoLWKx5T4zMqXg7aT9 importedaddress2 false

"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoin-cli.exe" importprivkey L2ELWXewr1PQnMwFDpfobHFqspyM6g1noM4uzkCMgoSZTSf3sQJF importedaddress4 true

Oh that sounds useful aswell, might try it!
Thanks a lot deepceleron!

I do hope you have no bitcoin at them addresses........ if you do there probably gone already 
No ofcourse not
as I said they have already been imported with blockchain but was just asking people to check if they could import the given keys with electrum as I keep getting an error message.Are you using electrum?
so I just go wallet- private keys - import and I add the keys but it gives me an error message saying they can't be added.
So I thought ok must be a wrong key, but then blockchain can import it.
So strange..
Any other clients you know that support bulk importing perhaps?

Hi, does anyone know which wallet/client allows multiple private keys to be imported at once?
Not like blockchain.info which imports 1 by 1.
Also tried electrum client as you can paste multiple keys at once, but it always says my private keys are invalid, anyone know a solution to that?
here are a couple of private keys which electrum states are invalid but blockchain imports without a problem.

So any tips/advice?
thanks!
