Issue uploading on Arduino Nano

Hello,
I try to upload a sketch on a Nano board but I got an error.
This is a simple sketch that I've already upload on many other nano boards and I use the same kind of board with the same computer (Macbook)
Here is the message I got after upload
Le croquis utilise 4958 octets (16%) de l'espace de stockage de programmes. Le maximum est de 30720 octets.

avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/cu.usbserial-1410": No such file or directory
Problem uploading to board. See https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/sections/360003198300 for suggestions.

I tryed the 3 chips with the same issue

I also try to plug the board into another USB port and the message error is not the same

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00

Does someone has any idea of what's happening

Try Uploading some basic Blink code this will tell you that your board is working or not

I have several nano boards I bought cheap, China type, etc.
I found that some have to use the OLD BOOTLOADER option
option under tools for processor after you select nano as the board.
I had to color code my boards because they all look the same.

I try 3 different boards with a simple blink code and I got the same error message, even with the old boot loader

The first question is if /dev/cu.usbserial-1410 is indeed your board. Does it disappear from the IDE when you disconnect the board?

That is progress; as suggested, try the different options under tools → processor. You might have a 168 based board.

Further there a nowadays a lot of boards that have a processor designed by LogicGreen; they are not Nanos also they might be advertised as such. Can you post a link to what you bought?

I'm not a Mac user so probably can't help further.

You can follow this video and see if it helps.

It finally works after installing the new version of Arduino IDE and trying several times.
Thank you for your help.
