Whenever I try to upload a program to my arduino I get this error:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
I have tried everything that I know to get it to sync properly yet nothing works.
If you can help please reply.
Thank you

Re: syncing error
A little detail would help:
What kind of Arduino?
What OS?
What exactly have you tried?
Make sure you have the correct COM port and Board Type selected in the tools menu.
Try a different USB cable and/or USB Port.

Re: syncing error
What do you see on the UNO? Is there any LED activity when you try to upload?
Have you verified that the driver has been installed correctly?
Do you see the UNO appear in the Device Manager as a COM port when you plug it in?

What do you see on the UNO? Is there any LED activity when you try to upload? Yes it says its on and with one upload that actually worked when I press the reset button my led lights up.I was going to do a more complicated program but it wouldn't sync.
Have you verified that the driver has been installed correctly?No, where can I find that out
Do you see the UNO appear in the Device Manager as a COM port when you plug it in?Yes it says its working properly.

Re: syncing error
So, you see the UNO in Device Manager under "COM and LPT", correct? Which COM number is it? Is that the same COM port you have selected in the arduino IDE?
What board type have you selected in the Arduino IDE?

Please follow these instructions carefully.

Be particularly careful in the section on installing drivers.
There are step-by-step screenshots of the driver installation on XP here:
