How btc transaction can be shown in block explorer when it never came in to the wallet??????

Wallet address is correct and wallet is synced.

Example?

I made 2 tx from cryptsy they are shown in block explorer ,but they never arrived in my wallet

they were laging for around 5 hours

What exactly are we talking here? Sometimes, bitcoin transactions can be traced via the tx id if it is not yet detected by the network. If the transactions didn't appear in the blockchain, two things might've happened: 1. the transaction didn't happen and; 2. an error occurred in the transaction eg. you sent to the wrong address.

Hi,

tx appier in blockchain ,but not in my wallet,address is correct and wallet is synced. I even made a few tx in and out of the wallet after these 2 tx, so i think the wallet ok.

Is your wallet synced with the network up to this minute? This could be some synchronization problem because if it is shown in the blockchain, the transaction is valid, and therefore happened.

of course i have fully synced wallet , i got all other tx after these 2 which never showed up.

Yesterday? These transactions are from 4/19.

yes they are from 4/19 and i still dont see them in my wallet

but how can i see all other tx which were after these 2 ? I even made 2 withdravals from that wallet everything worked

number of blocks:354931 ,so my wallet is up to date

Which wallet are you using? Just like what others instructed, try resetting the blockchain or anything similar (that is what i see in my wallet) and re-sync it with the network. I've experienced that same issue on my Android wallet (the one made by Andreas Schildbach) and reset the blockchain and synced it again, then the transactions went through.

i never mentioned yesterday , i misssing tx from 4/19

multibit

It is a lite wallet so it is not a hassle in case you re-sync it with the network because it doesn't need to download all the data from the genesis block. Try resetting the blockchain and sync it to see whether the transactions get through or not. If that doesn't work, we'll try to help out as soon as you fix your problem. Post feedback here after doing the above.

That's messed up but SPV wallets can miss transactions if they happen to connect to a node that doesn't implement the bloom filter properly/at all. It's not their fault. In this case, you can just resync from the block you know has the missing transactions.

So are they from 4/19 as you claim,
or were they lagging today for 5 hours.
Which one is it?

on 4/19 they were lagging 5 hours before appiering on block explorer

everything appiered after resync ,never thought it is possible having synced wallet to have 2 tx missing.

THANKS guys for help

It is very common with MultiBit.

Here is the MultiBit help page describing the symptoms and how to fix it:

Glad to be of help. I have experienced the same on another wallet and tried to reset and re-sync the blockchain and the transactions appeared, so I think that it would also work on other wallets with the same problem, too.

Wallets sometimes take time to sync in with the blockchain, it's normal if it doesn't show up automatically, you have to wait and it will eventually show up, specially if you are using something like Bitcoin-Core.

I have had similar problem using multibit. Simply "reset blockchain" and it should be fine.
