avrdude stk500 Error

Hi All

I have a Uno copy from eBay and I can upload a sketch using the latest Arduino IDE 1.6.8. However when I go to use the Arduino Create I can compile but I get these error codes when uploading:

avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 3 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 4 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 5 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 6 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 7 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 8 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 9 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude done. Thank you.

When I use to get this type of error I use to flash a new boot-loader but as neither the Arduino Create has a boot-loader capability and I know it works with 1.6.8 I am wondering if this is a bug. I can receive the serial output from the sketch ok just can't upload

I have managed to upload the code using Arduino Create to a Nano eBay copy so I am sure the USB is ok under this environment.

I am using: Chrome and Big Mac under El Capitain

It might be related to El Capitan, I am opening an issue about it. If you will ever had access to another OS and could try if the same problem occurs or not it would be really helpful.

Thank you for your report!

Installed El Captain on my machine and I can upload everything no problem.

It would be great if you could provide the code you are trying to upload, Thanks!
