I managed to upload the data to the board, I used port /dev/tty.usbserial-A8003WBz???

Then I tried the verify again, and the same error as earlier ....(

AP_Int16    format_version; (highlighted in yellow)

'AP_Int16' does not name a type (white text on red)

And then a lot of errors (red text on black)).....

What might cause this....

Sorry, my mistake didn't do the folder selection right way...Now when I verify there is no errors, only .....Done compiling text....

and

Binary sketch size: 141948 bytes (of a 258048 byte maximum)

Does APM need to be connected already when verifying or only when uploading?

I selected board Arduino Mea 2560 ....Lot of errors when verifying...

AP_Int16    format_version; (highlighted in yellow)

'AP_Int16' does not name a type (white text on red)

And then a lot of errors (red text on black)

Veikko, 

I also run Lion, so I will offer some help.

First, download the arduino code with the relax-patch from here:

http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/downloads/detail?name=ardui...

This is the arduino IDE that will allow you to compile and load the code.

Unzip and copy "Arduino" to Applications

Next, grab the software. Get copter or plane from the downloads directory:

plane - http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/downloads/detail?name=ArduP...

copter - http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/downloads/detail?name=ArduCopte...

Unzip the files into a directory. 

Open Arduino from applications. Open Preferences

Change sketchbook location to be the top directory where you unzipped the APM code. 

Click the "open sketch" button which is the "up" arrow. You should see the directory you unzipped the code. Select "ArduCopter" or "ArduPlane" as the sketch. 

Arduino should open a lot of tabs 

Select the board and speed

Hit Veirfy to compile [this is where things might go wrong. Copy any errors from the console and come back here for help!]

then Upload

Monroe, I mainly use Lion OS X, but I have also Win XP available.
