I'm trying to upload code but I keep getting the Avrdude done, thank you error message. I tried my code on my mac first and I got the message, but when changed to my pc everything was fine. Do I need to download a driver to get my Arduino ide working again on my mac?
Please post the full error message copied using the "Copy error messages" button in the IDE
Don’t know because you have told us nothing about what hardware you have.
We only know what you have put in your post, anything else up is guess work.
I'm using an Arduino Uno and the processor I'm using is ArduinoISP with the latest version of Arduino IDE.
It won't let me copy
This is not an error message. This is the output of a successful upload. Congratulations!
The reason you are getting different results on your Mac vs PC is that you have different settings for Show verbose output during: [] upload in the Arduino IDE's File > Preferences.
Now you can get back to having fun with Arduino.

I have no idea why, but avrdude done. thank you. shows up red. This is not an error, but actually means your program uploaded successfully. There is no issue with your Arduino or your computer.
Thank you I feel like an idiot 
More accurately: it's the exit message of AVR dude. The operation it performed was successful, or not - the 'thank you' message actually doesn't say if everything went OK.
The Arduino IDE colors all output the tools print to stderr in red and all the output the tools print to stdout in white.
So the AVRDUDE uploader tool is the cause of the red coloration of even normal output. As for why it does that, it's explained here:
