I'm currently using an Arduino Uno R3 with Mac OS X Yosemite and IDE version 1.6.11, very new to all of this stuff and having some trouble uploading a sketch to my arduino, this is the full error message:
Sketch uses 1,058 bytes (3%) 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.
Also thought I would mention the only two ports that are available are (I'm using the bold one): /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem
Are those ports above shown in the IDE tools section under ports really the only ones?
Or do you see another port, like /dev/cu.wchusbserial1a1630 or similar to that? (this would be the right one)
If your answers to Q1 and Q2 are YES and to Q3 is a NO, then we continue with:
4. Are you using a clone?
5. If so, what USB2Serial chip is onboard?
6. After having identified the communication chip (either a CH340, a FTDI or Prolific, or ..) - you have to install the OSX driver for that chip -> pls google where you find a reliable download source and read, if there are specifics to consider installing it on OSX (version?)
7. If the driver can be installed successfully, the IDE should recognize the Uno and upload any sketch.
Only thing is now that i have downloaded the driver, the sketch uploads however nothing happens with my project, currently the arduino is only showing a red LED for the power and nothing else, anything i might need to alter? Sorry for my absolute NOOB skills hahah
So it seems that the Arduino is recognized by your Mac?
If so and you don't get any error messages while uploading the sketch, you enter the next higher noobie step after having dealt with the first one, to get something recognized and can upload "something".
This next step is the "create a sketch which will do, what you expect it to do".
And this is already on the level of each individual programmer in the world.
Means, that most of the time "it" won't work as expected- either doing something "unexpected", nothing or even destroying your hardware if you don't know what you do.
That said, pls share your secrets with us. How do you think we can guess what you uploaded to the arduino, what you thought you had programmed and how the real code looks like?
Tell us, what you want to achieve and post your current code, so we can assist you.
Before you post your code, read the forum rules - especially how to post code in code tags.
