I have purchased 3 external lights with umbrelllas - A Novatron V400......It has a sync cord that plugs into my D3200 and it will flash when I release the shutter but my picture is completely white??? How do I fix this?
 
First off welcome to the forum. It sounds like you need to either adjust the camera or adjust the output of the light. It would help if we know the settings that you used on your camera.

Completely white sounds like gross overexposure. They are manual lights, you must adjust exposure manually (yourself, there is no automation to help you with this).

You need to turn the lights way down,
or set them at a few times greater distance from subject,
or use much lower ISO (try ISO 100),
or use a much stopped down aperture in lens.
or maybe some combination of a few of these things.
