If this is a double spend issue is it possible to get my coins back using pywallet,

If there are unspent funds for any addresses, you can transfer those keys to a new wallet, rescan, and the funds will show and can be spent. You don't need pywallet for doing this, standard bitcoind has everything you need.

Step 1.) Make sure you have a good backup of your existing wallet.

Step 2.) Extract keys from existing wallet.

Step 3.) Close the client, move existing wallet out of the way, and relaunch which creates a new, empt wallet.

Step 4.) Import keys

I don't remember if you need to start the client with -rescan after. It doesn't hurt if you do.

I'm not the most technically inclined person, you're going to have to explain it in a little more detail.

From what I've gathered bitcoind is a command line bitcoin client. Is it bundled with bitcoin Qt, or do I have to download it seperately? If it's bundled, where would I go about finding and starting it on mac OSX?
