Just looking for some assistance in how this works and basically which way i have to go about it?

If you're talking about unconfirmed transactions you'll just have to wait awhile, they should then get confirmed automatically and your transaction should go through.

Have some patience  :)

It is possible a transaction will never confirm through

I have been waiting a while does this offer anything to why it might not be going through?

If the transaction was sent from the standard client, which pays appropriate fees, it should be confirmed within a few blocks max.

This transaction does not include a fee (.0005 BTC, for example), so miners are prioritizing other transactions in their blocks.  The inputs to the transaction are also fairly new, which gives the transaction a bit lower priority.  Don't worry though, this one should be confirmed soon given the low complexity of the transaction and non-spam quantity of BTC involved.

Except when some smartass discovers blockchain.info's fee input box and goes "0 BTC fee"! on an transaction with 34 inputs.  ::)

You didn't include any fees. The standard client would make them optional, but I've noticed the miners like to at least receive some token fee. Right now, on this transaction, our only remedy is waiting. In the future attaching a fee for the miners, something like 0.001-0.001 can go a long way to getting your transaction confirmed faster.

Oh ok, definitely noted for next time! I feel like I'm in the right area (newbie). I'll just play the waiting game I guess. Thank you very much

16 confirmations now.  Looks like you're all good to go.
