Hi, I'm new to arduino. I bought the arduino starter kit and I installed Arduino IDE as the guide says. I plugged the USB cable but when I want to select the port I only could see "/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port". I tried this on MacOS 10.13.5 and Windows, on windows I could see "COM1" in the ports but when I tried to upload the code it showed me an error like:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
COM1 is hardly ever the Arduino.
What happens in Windows device manager when you connect or disconnect? Any yellow exclamation marks? You might have a board with the CH340 USB-to-TTL converter which under Windows requires an additional driver.
Not a Mac user so can't dvise there.
I can not see any exclamation mark. It is shown as if it were installed correctly. Neither is appearing something like other devices.
You may need to install USB to UART Bridge VCP drivers on your machine. You can download and install the drivers for your operating system here. After installing the drivers, restart the Arduino IDE.
On Mac, you may need to install the driver twice for it to work, as the first install will just remove the existing driver.

So it shows as a serial port when you connect. If so, next step will be to run the loop back test (described in a sticky in this forum section).
