Topic: How to do wallet rescan? (Read 12264 times)
If it doesn't show up in blockchain.info you should delete it from your wallet (see pywallet.tk)
If you have a transaction that you are expecting that hasn't confirmed in that long, you should look it up on blockchain.info and see if it is actually confirmed, pending, or doesn't exist at all. Bitcoin transactions don't take that long if they have any chance of going through. A "confirmation" is a transaction being included in the blockchain, it doesn't have anything to do with your client software.

Assuming you mean WINDOWS 7 you:
1) Create a shortcut for bitcoin-qt on your desktop.
2) Right-click the shortcut and select properties.
3) In the field labeled Target type -rescan on the end.
P.S. default is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" so the target field would end up looking like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -rescan.

I'd also like to know how to do this, i'm using windoze 7.
What OS are you running? It is different for each one.
When you run the client, you run 'bitcoin-qt' (it may be in a shorcut in windows)
Replace that by 'bitcoin-qt -rescan'
Replace that by 'bitcoin-qt -rescan'
I did that in debug console. I'm guessing that's not where I do that. Where does that command go?
bitcoin-qt -rescan
I had block chain fully downloaded. I was told to download it again. I did, still no luck. My latest advice was rescan. Trying to figure that out.
I have the same problem, I have 0 connections to the Bitcoin Network, this is what it says at the bottom right. Have you downloaded the blockchain previously? I never made it that far
I have a transaction that hasn't been confirmed for 7 days. Trying to figure this out. Thank you for the tip.
