I can't get my program to download via bluetooth on my Arduino Pro board. I also use an Uno, but the module plugs right into the Pro board, so I've been trying to use it. I keep getting an error that the port is already being used. When I turn on the BT module, I can not get it to command mode either, or anything. Here is the error I am getting:

I am sorry if I am being vague, I guess I'm not sure exactly what to ask. Can anyone impart some information that could get me where I can get my BT module to download information? Maybe if someone could just tell me how to get to command mode on my macbook that would be the easiest, and maybe I could get it from there, but heck I don't know, I'm totally new to this arduino stuff (and bluetooth integration for that matter). Thanks everyone!
