Alright. Thanks for your help. I have re-done the dumpprivkey function in Bitcoin core with another address and obtained a new private key. The new private key was inputed into the sweep function of Electrum. I then broadcasted the transaction. I now have a unconfirmed transaction in my Electrum history menu. Thanks for your help buddy.

You are welcome, make sure you sweep all keys.

OK my bad. I entered the wrong passphrase. I have obtained the private key. I tried to entire the private key into the sweep function of Electrum. I received a message stating that "No input found (Note inputs need to be confirmed)" What does this statement mean?

It means there are no coins on that address. Maybe they are on a change address now.

Hi, I am trying to transfer my bitcoins from Bitcoin Core on one computer and onto Electrum onto another computer. I am doing this because it is taking too long to download the entire all the blocks on bitcoin core.

I tried to do the following walkthrough: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transferring_coins_from_Bitcoin-Qt_to_Electrum

Once i did the dumpprivkey no other key popped up. I am wondering if this is normal?

There is on private key per address. If you want to export more than one key, try dumpwallet[1] (you might have to update first).

I then followed another guide except this is for the litecoin core which should be similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4sQWhA4NHQ

Also, my bitcoin core client states: "Warning: This is outdated and network-inconsistent software. Also, the alert system has been deprecated. Upgrade is strongly recommended. See https://bitocin.org/alert-retirement"

Your version detects that there are new rules in the network it does not know about. If you want to switch clients, you can ignore this.
