Mac + Uno + avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

Question

I'm trying to upload .hex file to Arduino. I don't have any problems with uploading code through an IDE (like blink example or any other). The port and board are correct.

So, the problem appears when I try to upload

avrdude -pm328p -carduino -P/dev/tty.usbmodemfd121 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:grbl_v0_8c_atmega328p_16mhz_9600.hex -v -v -v -v

What I tried:

• I have 4 Uno's at the table (original + free versions), the same issue.
• I have installed newest drivers from here, tried with and without them.
• tried with avrdude which comes with Arduino IDE (1.0.5 and nightly builds) and newest avrdude v.6.1 brew install avrdude
• different baud rates down to 9600
• tried to press reset after bytes are sent like suggested here

Answer 1

What fixed it for me was:

• Disconnect the USB cable from the Arduino
• Try to upload your program
• This will fail and the Arduino app will ask you which USB port to use.
• I did this twice
• Then plug in the USB cable to the Arduino
• Upload you program... succes!

Note: Shortly before I installed the drivers mentioned by Mikhail.

Setup: Mac OS 10.9.5, Arduino.app 1.0.6, Arduino Duemilanove
