Litecoin balance in wallet

Hi all, my wallet currently shows a 0 balance and I have not downloaded the blockchain yet. However, the inward transaction shows in the wallet.

Question is, will the balance update after downloading the blockchain?

Hello experts: am planning to mine LTC(ASAP), i need guidance, Can someone share their knowledge?

What machines should be buyin? Where can i buy? What software should i use? Any links?

Thank u folks
