Arduino.h no such file or directory ANY MAC USERS?? {SOLVED}

Using Arduino IDE 1.x
1

Sorry if this is asked and answered, but I have had no luck with the search function.

I recently installed v 1.0.5 and every sketch I try to compile or upload comes up with errors, the first of which

Arduino.h no such file or directory

Even the blink sketch.

I can compile and upload in v21, but the project I am wanting to tinker with (Bleep Labs Bleep Drum) is .ino not .pde

Please be gentle, but I really need help. I have spent several hours fumbling through google searches on this to no avail.

I am very much out of practice, and when I was on PC (I got a Mac a year ago) and versions 17-21 I was at least able to play with blinking LEDs.

I can provide any more info if needed
Thanks!

If this should be moved to Programming Questions, please do.

Any ideas?
Is it as simple as locating a file named "Arduino.h" and putting it in the right place? If so where should it go?

I just downloaded the same version on PC laptop and I can play, but I work mostly on Mac as my laptop is very old.
Thanks!

The most likely culprit is that you have not correctly installed the software.

Thanks for the reply. I have un-installed and re-installed. I have restarted my computer... I have even crossed my fingers.

On Mac I click download, and when the download is complete I can open the IDE. I have moved it into my Applications folder and it launches as soon as I click on it. There is no way I can see for that to go wrong.

On PC, it downloads a zip and there is an install "process". I have never had a problem with Arduino and PC (other than a lack of coding knowledge).

Could it be a Java thing by chance? I will update to the latest Java, uninstall and reinstall the IDE and see what comes of this.

EDIT: does it matter that I am on "Mavericks" OSX 10.9.1?

I have no idea. I know very very little about Apple computers. Hopefully someone with Apple experience will step up.

Post the verbose output from an attempt to verify. Please use

Thanks again. When I try the "Blink" example this is what I get:

Blink.ino:10:21: error: Arduino.h: No such file or directory
Blink.ino: In function 'void setup()':
Blink:15: error: 'OUTPUT' was not declared in this scope
Blink:15: error: 'pinMode' was not declared in this scope
Blink.ino: In function 'void loop()':
Blink:20: error: 'HIGH' was not declared in this scope
Blink:20: error: 'digitalWrite' was not declared in this scope
Blink:21: error: 'delay' was not declared in this scope
Blink:22: error: 'LOW' was not declared in this scope

Thanks

Anyone on OSX have any ideas how to load ANY sketch? My PC barely boots up.

I have no idea where to begin.
Thanks!

Anyone here know someone I can PM for help? It would be nice to use my working computer. Arduino is the only thing that I need Windows for. I would rather not fire up another computer if possible.

I was able to compile code with an install of "Nightly Builds" IDE. Does this tidbit help diagnose the problem?

Please help!

No one on MAC? If this is in the wrong part of the forum, can we move it???
