This might be the most basic question but I just got a Redboard kit. I usually use Arduino boards and have not had that issue in the past but this is for a school program and money was an issue so we bought the Redboards.

The board are connected to macbook air. They upload the code well and everything work but if I make any modification of the uploaded code although it verifies properly it does not upload the code to the board.

I get the following error message and the only way is for me to unplug the usb cable and pug it back again and upload again and it works.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!!!

I don't know- the same thing happens to me occasionally no matter what board I use. Sometimes the Com Port just doesn't appear as it should, and your method for fixing it is the same as what I use. Sometimes it resists even that, and I have to use a different USB port and try again, to get it to recognize the com port.
