Timeout communicating with programmer

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Hellow every body
I have a proplem during downloading any application on my arduino mega2560, I faced a message says:
"avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer"
Using arduino uno as isp proframer, I have upgraded the bootloader. When I tried to dwonload other application through the arduino uno as isp I faced the same problem.
Now I cannot program this arduino mega.
Any help please.
Thanks

are you downloading TO your arduino mega2560? or THROUGH it?

Well, that message says that the Arduino IDE can't connect to the board. I would probably check the RX / TX pins, solder, etc. But as, you said you updated the bootloader, I assume that something gone wrong on that process...

Have a look at this bootloader tutorial.
