Ive done that a fw times already and somehow dont' have just one seed file to check now...  there are multiple. 

I DO have the same one that I used to restore the wallet minutes b4 I the crash which happen within a min of me using the seed to install them.  I just wonder if the crash during a transaction is the reason this is happening?

cant I just use that wallet address, the tx id and all the othrr stuff at localbitcoins.com site along with the seed phrase somehiow?

If you think Electrum wallet got corrupted on crash try to restore from seed (12 words you got when first creating wallet):

Open Electrum go to File > Create/Restore and create a new file and restore from seed. Then wait for sync.

okay I went to Blockchain and entered the addresses of my missing URLS or codes  and Yes they are there somewhere out there as far a I can tell, but I  don't have any way to SEND them to my other wallet address like ive been trying to do since late last night. 

The page that loads when I search for my wallet addy's has the header:

"Addresses are identifiers which you use to send bitcoins to another person."

Here I can see BTC Amount in each wallet is right, so I can VIEW my missing wallet Addy's (or are these the transactions, stored within?) and see everything adds up to show they are still in existence, sure.  I don't see any ways for me to send them from where they are now to a website's wallet address or top any for that Matter?

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

I could be losing a lot o my rent $ as we speak so if anyone can helpa ASAP pls do..
- THANKS

May a payment to yourself to a different address

Can you update the title of this thread? It describes something that is not what really happened to you.

Whew (kinda)!  That is good news but how do I use them.... for instance I need to send them to another wallet now and realize now that if they go the same wallet im best off doing 1 transaction to save money.  I thought wallets were for that purpose and let you manage the coins r whatever so could I somehow merge the two wallet addy's b4 I send them off to spend?
How do I take the coin out of my wallet address and get the coin into another?
Thanks for the reply

Relax. Assuming you sent to the addresses generated by your Electrum wallet, you have no worries. The coins are not actually just in your computer, but are on the blockchain, jargon which means that the data is distributed to every computer in the world which is running the full client. When you solve your computer problems and bring up Electrum, the coins should be there, looking at you cool as a cucumber.

Hey everyone!
I sure hope I didn't ACTUALLY lose my coins but I am at the extent of my knowledge here so please help if you can.  I am new to Electrum and to wallets, although I've had them for years but never used them due to the fear of this very thing.....  Thanks in advance!

-So I got some BTC via the localbitcoins.com website today.

-Next, I installed electrum on CPU and I restored my Wallet from my seed.

- I chose to receiving addresses and marked them priority and labeled them


- then sent my coins from my localbitcoins.com wallet to the 2 electrum wallet addresses I labeled,
and have the record of both transactions on my acct page at localbtcs.com, It says the transactions are complete and I have $0 in my acct at that site now.

- Electrum showed both transactions were pending and I think I saw one got the completed status when my computer crashed and restarted!!@!

Thanks and ay help as quickly as possible is appreciated I am about to curse the BTC this is my 3rd time losing a lot of $ due to varied B.S. of some sort in a month!  I have been using BTC for 2 years!  Never a problem til now....
