Check your board setting in the Arduino IDE!

You wrote that you have a Mega2560, but the error message is about a Mega ADK board.

Those are different boards!

When using a Mega2560 you better do board setting Meg2560, too, but not Mega ADK board settting if you do not use such a board!

So despite your board setting in the "Tools" menu is Mega2560 the error message reports:
Arduino: 1.6.11 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino Mega ADK"
Error Message reports a different board than the board setting iactually is? Very strange!

Can you post the code of the sketch you try to upload to your Mega2560?
