Can not upload my first blink sketch to uno

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Win7 laptop & think arduino uno purchased in 2012. Uploading from deceased wife's laptop & submitting this from my iPad. Don't know if iPad will work as replacement for the laptop?

sketch_sep18a
void setup()
{
pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(13,LOW);
delay(500);
}``

Error message was: an error occurred while uploading the sketch a rude done.

Did just enable verbose output per some instruction during my two day ordeal.
Thanks, Richard7-11

Richard7-11:
Did just enable verbose output

After the upload fails you will see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error message". Click that button and then paste the error in a message here using code tags. I see you tried to use them on your sketch code but you did it wrong. Please click the "Preview" button before posting to make sure that you have successfully used the code tags.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch
avrdude done. Thank you.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Tried http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload

Maybe baud rate should be 9600?

Yeah - I'd guess it's using an old version of the bootloader if it's from 2012. Try calling it a duemillanove, and try nano, pro mini - all of those use the same microcontroller, but different bootloaders (hence different upload parameters needed).

Not understanding replies so posted "error message" in Google search. Found simplified answer understandable to total newbee.
