Every time i start uploading a program i get this error -
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
I've searched in many websites and tried the methods provided but the problem is not getting resolved. the led in pin 13 blinks each time i connect the arduino uno board to my laptop and each time i reset it. But wen i checked the ports it reads " USB Serial port(Com 6)" and not Arduino Uno(Com 6). Is tat a problem?? If so can u kindly help me fix it???

Re: Arduino sync problem
Open the device in the Device Manager and uninstall the existing driver.
Then select the "Update Driver Software" option and choose the "Browse my computer for Driver software" option.
Navigate to the "Drivers" folder of the Arduino Software download (not the "FTDI USB Drivers" sub-directory) and select "Open".
The Device Manager should load the correct driver from there.

Re: Arduino sync problem
Do you see any flashing lights on the Arduino when you attempt to upload?

Re: Arduino sync problem
The one marked 'L' should flash on reset or on upload. Do you see any flashing on the Rx/Tx leds?

Re: Arduino sync problem

Re: Arduino sync problem
Make sure you have the right board-type selected in the IDE.

Re: Arduino sync problem
I'm using Arduino uno board and i've selected the same. Should the usb port read Arduino uno(Com 6)??? coz mine reads USB Serial port(Com 6)... Is that a problem??

Re: Arduino sync problem
It shows up as an UNO on my system (Win7/64).
Is this a new board? Have you ever been able to upload to it?

Re: Arduino sync problem
I got the board just 2 weeks back... But it worked in my friend's laptop... We uploaded some programs and they all got executed without any problem..

Re: Arduino sync problem
Try it again on your friend's laptop. If it still works there, you have a driver problem on your machine.
