I also have a small mysterious pending transaction that does not seem to exist on the blockchain, since upgrading.
I just upgraded I had the same issue with an accidental double-spend I made a while back. Somehow the client created the transaction I wanted to do twice, one went through and the other was marked as "error" in my transaction list... until this update which marked it as pending. Rescanning did the trick for me too.

Rescan worked for me as well.
Do a -rescan. With the update to 0.12 came some changes to the wallet part as well. There might have been a hickup somewhere.
Rescanning solved the issue for me, thanks.
you can trie to rebroadcast the transaction using blockchain API
Shorena, I would like to do a rescan, but I'm pretty computer illiterate. Would you be able to give me a step-by-step of how to do it on OSX? Is it something I have to do through the command line, or can I use a configuration file to do it? Either way, pretty clueless as to how to actually do it.
Actually, dug up an old post that showed how to do it. In progress as we speak... will see how it goes!
you can see problem in file debug.log ,in dir $HOME/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin fo OS X..

Can someone please help / explain. I have a pending transaction shown in my Bitcoin Core 0.12.0 wallet of:
0.02712967 BTC
This has been shown pending for more than a week now and all my transactions are all confirmed and there is no such amount in my transaction list. I do not know where it is from but it just sits there as pending:
Whats going on here and how can I trace what this transaction is?
is wallet already synced for block download ? 0.02712967 BTC

According to https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions, there are currently 1800kB+ of unconfirmed transactions...
Around 950kB are in each block, so not all of these will make it into the next block... (and more transactions keep piling up)
Only the 50% with highest fees will get mined in the next block... if you put a low/zero fee, it might sit for days before confirming
You can try clearing the tx out of your wallet and re-sending it with a higher fee (double-spend), or giving it the occasional bump so it stays in memory (default bitcoin setting removes stale transactions after 72 hours)
I set up a relay if you want to try broadcasting the transaction from a different origin:

Thanks, but what's going on here is a little more perplexing.
I, and others on here, have no unconfirmed transactions in our Transaction List, yet an amount still shows as pending. We are having a hard time even identifying which transaction this pending amount would relate to.
And this issue only arose after updating to 0.12. Before updating, I had, e.g., 1 bitcoin showing up as my confirmed balance with 0 pending. Now, after updating, I show 0.8 confirmed and 0.2 pending.

Mine did the same thing.
There is no transaction for that amount to be searched on the blockchain.

I echo this. Interestingly, before I updated to 0.12 (was on 0.8.6 previously), nothing was showing as pending--the full amount was showing as confirmed. Like iglasses and OP said, there is no unconfirmed transaction showing up in my transactions list. Appreciate any input.

Restart bitcoin-qt once with the -zapwallettxes flag enabled.
What does it show in a block explorer?
Have you tried to turn it off and on again?
Have you tried to turn it off and on again?
Yes, I have turned it off/on and it makes no difference, I can't check the block explorer because I have no idea what this amount is for or from and it's not shown in my transaction list.
