Need help with sending BTC to myself

[Conzorz]

Hey guys,
So I recently installed the bitcoin-wallet, while waiting for the blockchain to finish synchronizing I foolishly sent myself BTC. I simply copy and pasted the address in my receive coins tab and sent a sizable amount of BTC to there. I read online that after synchronization the coins will appear, however the synchronization is finished and they have still yet to arrive.. I also viewed the tracking information for my receiving key and it says that no transactions are connected with my key. Do you guys have any idea of what may have happened? Is there any way that I would be able to recover my BTC?
Thanks!

I remember the same thing happening to me. But when i restarted the client it started synchronizing again with several thousands blocks left to complete. And it did that about 3-4 times. In the end my transaction showed up. So try restarting the client, maybe it will help.

Did you add a fee to the transaction?

While your waiting for your client to sync you can check the status of your transactions here http://blockchain.info/. Just paste the address into the search box.

How could you send Bitcoins, if you had none? My client says "No! You can't".

I believe my client is fully synched and I have restarted it several times. I sent my coins from an independent site where I had a wallet, I checked the status on blockchain.info yet it says there has been no sorts of transactions on that address.. My client is encrypted and I used the RPC command to unlock it however I have still yet to receive the coins

You will need to contact support at the site the coins were supposed to be sent from.

When using a hosted (shared) EWallet provider, your withdrawal is simply a request for the operator of that wallet to send the funds from their wallet.  If you aren't seeing it in the blockchain, the operator didn't send it.

If this was InstaWallet, they just had wallet/bitcoind issues recently hat should be resolved but if not check their thread for the latest as you may need to contact the operator directly.
