Using Arduino Installation & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My arduino software is giving this error every time I upload something. I have tried different sketches usb cables and usb outputs and none work…

processing.app.SerialException: Serial port '/dev/cu.usbmodem1411' already in use. Try quitting any programs that may be using it.
	at processing.app.Serial.touchPort(Serial.java:119)
	at processing.app.debug.AvrdudeUploader.uploadViaBootloader(AvrdudeUploader.java:203)

Any help is appreciated
