First time using nano, sketches not uploading

Development Tools IDE 1.x

IDE 1.8.12
Similar errors no matter what I select in processor or com (com1/com3).
I feel it's the usb cable? But the leds go on and blink.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

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

Try to select Nano with old bootloader in board type.

hi i think i help you simple word thanks

in these there are two types of arduino nano available in market

one is program with select atmega328 processor

second is ATmega328P old bootloader

Budvar10:
Try to select Nano with old bootloader in board type.

I get the same errors no matter what processor or port used. Old bootloader did not fix anything. I am not using a clone btw

5

Do you have a older style "NANO" ?

Or one of the newer NANO series ?

A picture of the board or link to where you got it would be very useful ?

Check device manager what it says for the com port when you connect the board.

If no new serial port shows when connecting, you might be using a charge-only or broken cable or the board is faulty. If a new unknown device shows, it's probably a driver issue.

Your opening post refers to com1 which is usually not the Arduino.

Nothing appears, so I guess it is the USB device afterall. If it is a driver issue, what can be done to fix? just to confirm for sure it is the usb.... Getting a new usb is hard right now

If nothing (not even an unknown device with a yellow triangle) appears in device manager, it's useless to attempt to install the driver.

Please take a photo of chip on the bottom of the board (in between the pins); the text on it will probably be difficult to read so you might have to blow it up in an image viewer and improve the contrast. The chip will either be a CH340/CH341 or a FT... or CP... . For the first, you can download the driver from the chinese manufacturer's website and install it. For the FT... , you should not have to take action. For the CP... , do a search for the driver.

Further
1)
Make sure the cable is inserted properly at both ends; the datalines have slightly shorter pin and will not make contact if the cable is not properly inserted. Test with another cable if available.
2)
If you have another Arduino, you can burn the boot loader to see if that will solve the issue. There are plenty instructions on the web.

I had the same problem when trying to upload from Eclipse using AVRDUDE.
First make sure that your PC attempts to communicate with the board and the board actually receive the connection attempt. How to do it?
When you click on the "upload" button look at your arduino board and verify that the Rx (receive ) LED lit up for a split of a second, this is an indication that the PC tried to transmit a message to the board.
If the Tx (transmit) LED stay dead then the board did not respond to the incoming message. In such case try to implement the following:
I solved the problem by changing the command line parameters setting from "-carduino" to "-cwiring", problem gone, it is something to do with the atomatica reset that the programming application need to do to the target board so it will jump from the current running program to the onboard startup monitor that can communicate with the downloader on the PC.
Good luck.
