Hello i found out that i needed to update the firmware of the usbasp programmer i have because it was using old firmware. So i found This website So far it was the best one i saw and showed me tep by step what i need to do and that i can understand. I followed all directions doubled and triple checked everything the last command was to put
./avrdude -C ./avrdude.conf -p m8 -c avrisp -P /dev/cu.usbmodem14101 -b 19200 -U flash:w:usbasp.atmega8.2011-05-28.hex:i
in the command line but change it to match my information. I have put this
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin>avrdude -C ../etc/avrdude.conf -p m8 -c avrisp -P COM10 -b 19200 -U flash:w:usbasp.atmega8.2011-05-28.hex:i
When i did that then sent it i get this error message.
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x03
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x03
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 3 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x03
I'm not sure what is wrong or what i can do to correct this. Can someone please help me?

I'm not sure what i need to do on the arduino uno side to make this work. Does anyone have any idea's what i need to do?

I'm so sorry i messedup. I overlooked one area on the website for the arduino side to upload the example sketch ArduinoISP. When i did that i was able to flash the firmware with no problem. Thank you all for the help. Below is my output in the Commandline.

Hello jsut a update I was able to now reflash the usbasp programmer with new firmware. overlooked or missed was i was suppose to upload the example sketch arduinoISP. Now i did that and i was able to reprogram the firmware.
