Today I got the first chance to try to use my new Arduino Uno R3 that I purchased from Adafruit. When I tried to upload the Blink sketch to make sure everything was functioning, I received this error: avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00.
So I googled around and saw that this was an issue that several people had but I didn't see anyone else note that their Arduino boards were brand new from Adafruit. Nevertheless I tried the common solutions to this problem including: pressing the reset button (there is no blinking from the LEDs when I do this), new USB cable, check COM port, check selected board in IDE, different example sketches, and unplugged and replugged. None of these changed the results.
This is the verbose output of the upload:
