Hi ! I bought an Arduino Uno just 3 hours ago , and I decided to try the blink sketch in the examples .
Everytime I try to upload , I get this error :
Arduino: 1.6.11 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
Sketch uses 928 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

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

Time to gather some more information:
Did you see spycatcher2k's post?
Did you install drivers when you installed the Arduino IDE?
Did you select the Uno board in the Tools/Board menu?
Did you select the correct port?
Have you double checked that your USB cable to the Uno board is a good one?
What computer system are you running--mac, windows, or linux?
Mjward ,
I installed the driver . The port is the correct one and I selected my board in the software . Now that you mention it , my usb cable is not the right size for the arduino . The hole in the arduino is bigger that the end but when I put the cable in the arduino it works .
Hi,
Do the sockets on your Arduino have sockets that look like this?
We need pictures, especially of the cable, did it come with the Arduino when you bought it?

Hi,
That cable is the right type for the UNO.
Is it pushed all the way in?
The fact that you have a couple of LEDs glowing on the UNO mans that you have power flowing through the connection.
What COM port does the IDE say your UNO connected to?
Tom...
Its late here going to bed.. See if someone else who is awake can help.. lol, goodnight mate.
Well, I'm running out of ideas then.
You are trying to run the example blink sketch, unmodified, correct?
Have you tried reinstalling the IDE?
Have you opened the Windows device manager while your board is plugged in to make sure Windows thinks the port is functioning ok?
Is the error message you now get identical to the message in your original post?

Hm. I see no reason why you can't upload normally.
At this point, I'm reduced to suggesting the option of last resort--a fresh install.
If that doesn't help, all I can offer is my hope that somebody else here has more insight.
