Complete Novice getting frustrated!

Arduino: 1.8.13 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Uno"
Hi, I am a complete novice to any type of programming and after some success yesterday making LED flash today I have the following error message. Using a mac book pro which has no USB port so have a dongle type thing linking to Arduino uno.
any help would be appreciated.

Blink sketch works by the way!

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

This report would have more information with

option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Do you mean a usb 3 adapter ?

Yes these later MacBook Pro do not have a usb!
