I sent a bitcoin transaction using blockchain.info and the transaction was somehow flagged as a double spend apparently, the funds where available in my account the whole time. Now this transaction does not appear in my blockchain wallet anywhere and the remaining balance on my account is completely unusable, as I get this error:

The transaction causing the issue is this one:
https://blockchain.info/tx/e0c8223b25e34171e535bb16e9a70def8d579411c181f84d428eb4a26aac7674

Can someone please help me with an idea to resolve this situation?  Thanks in advance!

Your transaction spends from this transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/3a9147b296059943a5b4c42e279b2d8059ac35be418c4be6a00717d57649e525 which is double spent by https://blockchain.info/tx/f810c9d87e13d5dee078e1ec38245b1d515b33b3a1e73e97a87117ce6dc6bbeb and that double spend has already confirmed, so your transaction will never be able to confirm since it is now considered invalid.

This happened because your wallet has a bug in its output selection for use as inputs in a new transaction. I advise that you immediately stop using that wallet software and use a different one that is known to not have major bugs like this.

Achow, thank you very much for your prompt reply. The wallet I am using is the blockchain.info wallet. Do you have a better recommendation of wallets I can use for Mac? Also, what can I do now, I have 2.57 btc in the wallet that is now stuck and cant ever be used or recovered by me? I reached out to their support but not sure what I can expect.

If you insist on using web wallet then you can try Green Address (https://greenaddress.it/en/) or BitGo https://www.bitgo.com/wallet
Both of these wallets can be used on Mac and are accessible from any device. You can also try SPV wallets like: Electrum or Multibit HD, they have OSX versions too.

If your coins are stuck due to a wallet bug then I am afraid that only support can help you with your case.

If you want to change your wallet I will suggest stop using any kind of web wallet and install electrum if you have a PC device on your house just make it secure by installing antivirus so it will be secured from malware.
Or you can try Mycelium wallet if you have smartphone.
