Can't upload to Arduino Uno board, Programmer out of sync error on mac

Development Tools Uploading

I'm using a MacBook air (2021) to write my code on in Arduino IDE, tried to upload to my board and got this error message.

Sketch uses 3686 bytes (11%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 401 bytes (19%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1647 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

repeating...

I use a Satechi multiport adapter in order to connect to board with my computer and currently have a very simple project.

That can be caused by a bad cable such as using a charging cable or the incorrect Arduino selected in Tools.

Thanks! Swapping the cable worked wonders.
