I recently got an Arduino UNO from you (Invoice No. 507667). I have tried both on a Macbook Pro with BANNED, and a PC with windows 7. The MBP don’t show up any new network device as it is supposed to when I connect the UNO. The PC report that there is an error with the device on COM3 (Error 10) after I installed the driver. It says «The device cannot start».
I have tried with three different USB cables, all of them work on other equipment. I am not able to upload anything to the Arduino UNO, the ide reports: avrdude.exe: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00 on the pc, and: avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding on the mac.
I feel that I have tried «almost everything», but with no success. I have searched for solutions on all available forums. Probably there is something wrong with the Arduino itself?
As I haven't got it to work with the ide on any computer, I have not tried to connect it to the motor shield I have. The only sketch I have tried is the "Blink" for testing.

Did you go to Arduino and get the latest software that works with winblows 7, they have a new version 1.0.5 r2 don't let windows try to search for a newer driver and install the generic usb driver either. That can stop it as well.
they have it for mac as well don't worry I am not trying to sell any thing here just trying to help
Your Ardiuno will appear as a com-port under System, device manager, if you let windows update the driver the you will see a yellow bang under Ports (COm & LPT)
in the software under >Tools select your board type under >Board>Arduino Uno
Next while in your System > Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) you will see 'Arduino Uno (COM ##)'
This you will set your comport under >Tools select your > Port> drop down of ports 'please select the correct one you saw '

I have tried that too, with no luck

Re: Arduino UNO don't work?
I am having the same problem with my uno r3. I get the same 'not in sync' error message and the upload does not replace the default version of blink with Myblink ( faster blink ). The ide recognizes the correct board on com1, which is strange. Shouldn't it be a virtual port with a higher number?

Re: Arduino UNO don't work?
uninstall the software and reinstall it again.
Notice....
you will not lose your sketches or added libs as they are located in >My Documents>Arduino>your stuff is in here
you can also remove unwated libs you added in that folder
the new version upsets me as I can not edit the code their I am using Note Pad ++ for code editing up cant do on the fly editing any more with the new version

Re: Arduino UNO don't work?
@trondjk - It sounds like you have a defective Uno - please contact [email protected] with a link to this thread for a replacement.
@wstock - Open you Device Manager and find out what port has been assigned to your UNO. If no port has been assigned, you will need to install the drivers. https://learn.adafruit.com/lesson-0-get ... no-windows

Re: Arduino UNO don't work?
I figured out my/our problem. My xp had no usb driver, and instead of assigning a virtual port, defaulted to port1, which won't work. I had to go to my arduino ide directory and find/execute dpinst-x86.exe, which installs a custom arduino driver for the usb virtual port. It assigned port 3 for my uno and port 4 (on another computer) for my mega2560, which had the same problem. After going into the device manager and changing the baud to match the arduinos 115200, and changing the sketch>tools>port to match the virtual port assignments, everything worked fine and I can modify and upload my programs properly. Hope this helps someone else, too.

Thanks, Bill for the reply. It did me good to beat it out after doing a good bit of reading.

glad you got it most of the time is related to COM PORT and usb drivers

if you look up I said that and where to go in the settings

I received the replacement today, and it works :) Thanks for your support and very good service!adafruit_support_bill wrote:@trondjk - It sounds like you have a defective Uno - please contact [email protected] with a link to this thread for a replacement.
