I can see my account and all the transactions I made in 2018 .
So It all seems good .
EXEPT that I'm unable to see the balance in my acct.
Then your problem was that you had outdated firmware, but if you have now upgraded to the latest, and if you have the latest version of Ledger Live you should be able to sync successfully and your accounts should show the correct balance. It seems to me that you have not added all the accounts, at least the ones where you have funds.
To successfully add an account you must also have an app installed for a specific coin - which means you need to go first to Ledger Live manager and download the coin app for Bitcoin and every other coin you want to add an account for.
