Transaction unconfirmed after 3 days

[themba]

I'm using multibit and about 3 days ago I made a withdrawal of BTC from my exchange account and it instantaneously reflected on my wallet. However, I now want to spend my bitcoin and multibit is telling me that my wallet does not have enough funds although I see them in my wallet. Is it because the transaction is still unconfirmed, because its been seen by 21 peers but is still unconfirmed? What should I do for my bitcoins to be spendable?

Post the transaction ID?

Originally thought you simply didn't include a fee where one was needed, but if an exchange sent it, they'd have to be run by half-brain monkeys to not include needed fees.

My TxID is 4148e6e199bc29eb41e700a3f6254c19b92e20d785b61b42bcd28096136399a3. Mine is the one sent to 1FNfMQ5YonWuX2RoxecqUwgJykD1JmpYoV.

Sounds like your Multibit client isn't sync'd or its database is corrupt. (or some other error I'm unfamiliar with since I don't use Multibit often enough)

Im thinking of exporting my wallet to another wallet application. Maybe that will solve the problem because I've tried re-installing Multibit but it still tells me that there are no sufficient funds when I want to spend my BTC. Which wallet software would you recommend and how do I export my (.wallet) to the application?
