Any suggestions, or helps.

Thanks

If you're a new user and have a slow Internet connection, you might need to wait to download the block chain, especially if you keep closing bitcoin and screwing around with your wallet.

Maybe try "bitcoin -rescan"

Or if you use an old version of bitcoin, it may not tells you where fees are needed, so try sending with a 0.0005 fee

Export the private keys from the wallet (with pywallet)

Import them into a new one

Try the transaction again

Start you client with the -debug command line option and double click the transactions that aren't getting confirmed. Post the info here.

Download pywallet from https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet (https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet) and export the private keys. Import them in a new wallet and make sure that your bitcoin client is the newest from http://www.bitcoin.org/ (http://www.bitcoin.org/).

Do you have the same wallet.dat on two or more machines ?

See this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37757.0)

What do you want to do exactly?
Erase the 0/unconfirmed transaction from your wallet?
Sending the transaction without fee?
Sending the transaction even if it requires a fee?

I managed to get the pywallet to work; I deleted the transaction the invalid ones. And now my wallet shows a balance of zero.
I am confident though I have 14 bitcoins; that somehow i can't access.

I originally had 85 btc to start off with. I sent 71 btc off; to the namecoin exchange.
And now i should have 14btc. But I can't access those btc.

I  have over 20 wallets; not organized. Is there a way i can combine all these wallets into one;
Is there any other options?

Suggestions?

Bounty still open. I bumped the bounty doubled from 0.25btc
If a solution is found.

If you don't mind transaction fees, you can transfer all the funds into a single wallet.

uh; i can't transfer all of it; i said i can't access them...

Tried pywallet; Deleted the transaction log; and it used to show balance of 14btc;
Now it shows zero.

Where did the 14 btc go?

If you get rid of the transaction log, it won't remember you getting the coins. You might be able to get it back by rescanning and redownloading the block chain.

export/dump all the private keys from your 20 wallet.dat's - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8091.0
import them all into a new wallet.dat
now with an empty folder, apart from your new wallet.dat, download the block chain again.
(your client will show 0.0 BTC until the entire blockchain is downloaded)
Or else run bitcoin with the -rescan option, but it may not work this way.
(keep all wallet.dat files in case something goes wrong, always good to have backups)

All you have to do is bitcoin -rescan
