If you see the triangle icon it normally means the transaction did not reach the Bitcoin network.
Thus other wallets won't see it - it is as if it never existed.

By resetting your blockchain you make your local copy of MultiBit hte same as the Bitcoin network consensus.

You can send a transaction to the same address if you want.
Or (if you really cannot get things to work) move your wallet to blockchain.info

As I said in previous post I didn't have any triangel/transaction after I rescan the blockchain. I didn't even have any bitcoins, those that I tried to send didn't exist in my total balance. So I were some where in between.
But after I rescan it a second time (some days later) I got the correct total amount that I should have. And it worked to send those btc in several transaction, instead of one big.
I had alot of 0.02 incomming transaction from my mining. So it were proberly the reason.

But in my wallet it says that I don't got those btc that I sensed. But I dint have any sended transaction (this after I rescan blockchain). So should I use an backup and rescan it with that to get it back to my wallet?

or is the only option now to get it to blockchain wallet?

Is the client synchronzied? You could paste your bitcoin address in blockchain.info to see if the transaction is sent on the blockchain.
Usually it should take about 4-10 minutes.

If you have a read first of the related support issue:
https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_support_sentBitcoinFromMultibitButTheyAreStuck.html

As that link explains, the two main reasons a tx does not propagate is:

+ bad network connection/ peers
+ network does not 'like' the tx

It could be either.
Note that you sound like you have your private keys in (at least) two active wallets. MultiBit isn't really designed for this and you can, if you are not careful, get into the state where you've spent one of your transaction outputs in one wallet (or another non-MultiBit wallet maybe with the same keys). Then you won't get a tx to propagate as one of the transaction outputs is double spent.

I recommend you following the advice in the support page above and only using your wallet in one machine. You want to keep it backed up of course but don't use it actively from two places.

If you still cannot get your money to send, then the easiest thing is to move your wallet to, say, blockchain.info. There is a support note on how to do this too, here:

Sended X btc to another wallet. But I only got this triangel icon with the status 'multibit this transaction is not yet confirmed'. I sended the btc with the fee suggestion that multiebit gave me. Waited about 5 hours and nothing happend. I looked the "show transaction and details". And it couldn't find any transaction at blockchain.info.
Googled it and saw that I could "reset blockchain and transaction". Tried it and now the sended transaction is gone. And my totalt amount is without that amount that I sended.

Before I sended this amount I had some problem with multiebit. It said that java wasn't installed. I couldn't open it up. Not even install a newer version. So i ran 'multibit-exe.jar'. It worked and it was then I sended it.
I have multiebit 0.5.17 installed. But ran multibit-exe.jar from 0.5.18 if that could make any different?

I dont know what the next step will be, I dont want to dig a bigger hole Smiley

Edit:
Had an installation on another computer and rescan the transaction on that one. Now I got allt my coins again.
But now Im woundering if I send it 'again'. If it is any possible that it get dubble spended?

Edit2
Sended it on that other computer but it seems to be stuck at this triangel that says that it havn't been seen by any peers. Looks like it doesn't leavs multibit. Proberly I bug in the program?
Because as I said, now im on another computer and with the newest installation of multibit. Without any java problem, and I still get this error.
