I'm on Mac OS Sierra but i tested it also on Windows 10 without results..
I checked the board and the port.. and also the website
http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload

How can i solve this problem?

There are some issues with Sierra so maybe do a search for that in particular. (not a mac guy BTW)

But if you also post the windows stuff I may be able to help.

I just try it on Linux (ubuntu 14 i think..) and it says the same

For some reason he's looking in root's home directory for a config file. If you're using the IDE as a normal user, he's not going to let you look in root's home.

I'm guessing you may have run the IDE as root, possibly the first time you ran it.

I just tried opening it as root but it says the same error.. and also it doesn't create the file!

it passed the loop back test so i think i don't have communication problems!

Not sure what the..... you are doing but "up" means NOTHING around here...And if its just to "bump" your thread please be careful as its frowned upon.
