Your description assumes that we know what you're talking about. But we have no idea. What is an "old id wallet"? What "account" are you talking about? What is the "it" that vanished?

The short answer is this: If you have, or have access to, the private key associated with the Bitcoin address the funds were sent to, then you can access those funds. Otherwise, they're lost.

Ok, lets start with a simple question.  There are nearly a dozen commenly used wallets, and each behaves a bit differently.  Without knowing which one you are using, it is difficult to give useful advice.  So, what wallet are you using?

Bitcoin-QT?
Electrum?
MultiBit?
Armory?
https://blockchain.info/wallet?
Coinbase?
MtGox?
CampBX?
localbitcoins.com?
BTC-e?
Silk Road?
Something else?

Lol @ that picture.  I think you may be out of luck. If you can't access the id  that controlls your wallet because its so long and random ie blockchain id's, that u can't remember it, then you can't send the coins in its address. No one can.
   -Copy and paste- it saves lives.

Other wise it may just take a moment to confirm

Sounds like it could be gone, hope you didn't lose too much
