I am having a problem uploading a sketch that has been compiled on an uno. I have uploaded other sketches to this board before without incident but when I try to up load this sketch I receive the following error message: avrdude:stk500.getsync():not in sync:resp=0x37
I am using windows 7 64bit OS. I looked at the faqs that seemed related but nothing that I tried has helped.
That error usually means that the Arduino IDE cannot find the Arduino board - perhaps it is trying to upload using the wrong COM port or maybe to the wrong type of Arduino.
Check that your settings are correct in the Tools menu.
Try unplugging your Arduino board and reconnecting it.
Try closing and re-opening the Arduino IDE.

Can you upload any other sketches?
Do you have anything connected to pin 0 or pin 1?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Robin2 and GypsumFantastic, I have tried what you suggested to no avail. The board that I am attempting to upload the sketch to is an UNO board that I have had no issues with prior to this. It is on com4 which is the same com port that I have used for most, if not all of my uploads. The com port shows in the menu as which one is being used. The board is the correct one and I don't have anything on pins 1 or 2.
I am very new to this and I'm sure that there is some simple explanation that I am just missing.
I don't have anything on pins 1 or 2.
No-one cares about pin 2, but pins 0 and 1 are crucial.
Sorry, my mistake, I meant pins 0 and 1. I have also done the disconnect and reconnect and restart of the program without any success. I also tried another USB cable just to eliminate that as a possibility.
I appreciate anyone's helpful suggestions but can do without any useless sarcasm. I am new to this and just trying to learn and I respect those with more knowledge that don't feel that it is beneath them to help.

Where did you find that?
