Transaction not showing up in Bitcoin-Qt

[jerye]

I sent a transaction to one of my address while the wallet was syncing with the blockchain (10 or so blocks behind). Once it synced, I don't actually see the transaction in my wallet but I see the transaction on blockchain.info. I sent myself a new transaction and saw that Bitcoin-Qt noticed the transaction. Is there anything I can do about the previous transaction?

you could backup your wallet and do a rescan.

maybe just restart bitcoin-qt

If you're sure that the transaction was sent to the correct address, then it is a bit surprising that Bitcoin-Qt did not see it.

To force Bitcoin-Qt to search through the blockchain for any transactions it may have missed you can do the following:

Shut down Bitcoin-Qt and wait for it to exist completely.
Figure out how to run Bitcoin-Qt from a command line interface on your operating system (You didn't mention what operating system you are using, so I can't offer instructions here).
When running it from the command line interface, include the -rescan option
Wait while Bitcoin-Qt scans the blockchain loking for missed transactions.

Solved, it showed up after 1 confirmation. Am using windows and tried the --rescan option from the debug window but that did not work.

-rescan, with 1 hyphen only.
in alternative you could insert rescan=1 in the bitcoin.conf file and (re)start bitcoin-qt

Nope it won't work from the Debug Window.  If you need the rescan option in the future, you need to completely shut down Bitcoin-Qt and then run it from the Windows command line with a -rescan command line option.
