I tried to dowload what the code and it compiled fine but when I tried to upload it it just said: Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions. I am not sure how to get it to work. Thanks!

Does that mean that you can upload other code to your board?
Which board are you using?
Yes I have downloaded something before, I downloaded the blink and it worked just fine. I am using the Arudino Uno R3 board. Thanks for responding! 
Normally, if your sketch compiles ok
the IDE should be able to upload it, especially if you are able to upload other sketches.
Are you able to upload the other sketch within the same hour that you can't upload this one, or was it days apart?
Does your error message on the IDE have more info? Please copy and past the error message here.
My sketch compiles okay. I tried to upload the code only and hour after uploading my blink code. It just says done compiling so then I click upload and this appears: Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
Try uploading the blink code again, does it still upload?
No, I can't upload it, it has the same error message. I am sure my code is right but will you check it anyway, just in case. It is really short.
Blink_1.ino (133 Bytes)
I tried to look at it, but on chromebook I can't read *.ino files.
So this is the blink file that you could upload before, but now you can't upload any scripts?
In that case, it indicates a problem on your pc, or the connection to the uno board.
Go back over http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload again. It probably holds the answer.
It seems that you script is not the problem.
It may be helpful to change the title of this thread to "Can't upload scripts".
Will this make any difference though, I burned the bootloder to the board and it said not able to be uploading: avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x03.
Also, how do I change a topic's name

This has nothing to do with the code in the example. For some reason your Arduino IDE is not working properly with your Arduino board.
What do you mean by " I burned the bootloder to the board" - was the bootloader not already on your board?
What Arduino board are you using?
Have you tried the troubleshooting guide?
...R
Okay. The bootloder was already on my board, I just thought i would do it again, just to make sure.
I am using an Arduino UNo R3 board.
I tried the trouble shooting guide and have done everything it said but it still doesn't work.

You can only upload a boot loader using an other Arduino or programmer, you can't do it straight off.
Make sure you have selected the correct port and board from the tools menu.
It the Arduino showing up as a port on your computer?
I mean I just got on Arduino and under Tools said burn bootloder.
I have the correct port and the closetst to my board I can get is the Arduino/Genuine Uno.
Yes. It is showing up as Intel (R) Active Managment Technology -SOL (COM3) I also have a Comunnications port (Com1).
I mean I just got on Arduino and under Tools said burn bootloder.
But that requires a programmer or another Arduino to act as a programmer, it will not burn a boot loader without additional hardware.

Yes. It is showing up as Intel (R) Active Managment Technology -SOL (COM3) I also have a Comunnications port (Com1).
Therefore it looks like your board is either not working or it is not close enough to the Arduino/Genuine Uno. What board do you have?

Sorry, next time i will be more systematic. By the way I tried messing around the the ports and then it froze and then it reloded and there was another port port4Arduino/Genuine Uno, (which, by the way is what my board is.) I clicked on it and it is now owrking fine. Do you have any idea why it didn't show up before, or why port3 worked befire but not now? Thanks so much for all the time you guys spent helping me.
Often when there is a problem on a computer, (windows), it will correct it by power down, and then power back up. One reason I am now using a chromebook. Still occurs, but not as often, I think.
