Use Blockchain. Stay away from offline wallets for now until you learn more
Nothing unusual there, the 'out of sync' alert will remain until you've downloaded the full blockchain and are in sync with the network. The blockchain size is now a little over 30gb and takes me about 2.5 - 3 hrs to download with my 30MB/s connection. If your connection is very slow, you'd be better off using a lightweight client like Multibit or an online wallet service like Coinbase. I myself use Coinbase most of the time.
Maybe your internet network is not stable
I usually just wait and may take several hours

If you do a full not lite wallet expect a LONG time to download the blockchain. It is just a very long download at this point.
I'd highly recommend to cancel or exit out of Bitcoin Core and download a more lighter weight wallet like Electrum instead.
With Electrum, you don't have to download the entire Blockchain for hours(days), but it functions pretty much the same.

Does Electrum already have full Coin Control functionality?
From personal experience, I would just wait for the blockchain to sync, I am a huge fan of Bitcoin Core and find it the most reliable client.

Depending how old that computer is, it may take up to a week to get the blockchain up to date.
Latest release (v0.10.0) makes it sync way faster, but if the computer is modest it may take awhile, just leave it on, eventually it will be up to date.

i am new to bitcoin.
I set up on old hp.I downloaded bitcoin core,it runs my wallet but says its out of sync on balances/transactions.
What to do?
I assume you got 0.10.0 here -> https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.10.0/
It will take some time to sync the client. It needs to download and verify ~35 GByte of data.
