Arduino Due Port Not Found

Question

I've got an arduino due and I'm having great difficulty connecting to it. The problem seems to come and go, I was using it just fine only 3 or 4 hours ago but now it just won't connect. I've got the board set to the Arduino Due Native Port and the port set to the /dev/cu.usbmodem1421 (Arduino Due Native Port). Every time I try and upload the sketch however, it gives me this error:

 Arduino: 1.6.6 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Due (Native USB Port)"
Sketch uses 10,316 bytes (1%) of program storage space. Maximum is 524,288 bytes.

 This report would have more information with

 enabled in File > Preferences.

Not sure what all that was but a simple restart of my computer seemed to fix it.
