PICkit 3 will not connect to MPLAB X v2.15 to program a PIC16F819 (MikeMoeller)

I am attempting to program a PIC16F819 using the PICkit 3 and the 18 pin demo board with MPLAB X v2.15 and I cannot get the hardware to connect and program. It shows up in MPLAB with the proper serial number. I  have tried running MPLAB with several different compatibilities under the program properties as well as running it as an administrator. I have tried using different USB ports as well but to no avail. I am at a loss as to what to do at this point and I would really appreciate any help that anyone could give me.

The fact that the PICkit shows up with a serial number is a good sign and generally means that the PICkit itself is functional.  Now, we need to know what MPLab is saying is wrong.  I am assuming your program builds.  What message is output by MPLab X when you try to program?  Please quote the whole text box using [ code ] [ / code ] tags (remove spaces within brackets).  That way we can take a stab at what might be wrong.

This is what I'm getting for the output when I try to make and program the project:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1s)
Loading code from C:/Users/mwm2i_000/MPLABXProjects/PhoneCaseIC.X/dist/HT_PIC16F54/production/PhoneCaseIC.X.production.hex...
Loading completed
Connecting to programmer...
The programmer could not be started: Could not connect to tool hardware: PICkit3PlatformTool, com.microchip.mplab.mdbcore.PICKit3Tool.PICkit3DbgToolManager

That looks like the output from the project's build/load tab and is a very generic sounding error.  Is that the only output you are seeing?  There may be another sub-tab that popped up in the output window named Pickit3.

There are 2 other subtabs in the output. The first tabs name is configuration loading error and it says:
info: Configuration "HT_PIC16F54" will build with toolchain "hi-tech-picc" at "C:\Program Files (x86)\HI-TECH Software\PICC\9.82\bin".

The other tab is the PICkit 3 tab and all it says is:

Any help is really appreciated.

remove the USB cable form the Pickit3 and then hold the button down for 10 seconds, re-connect the USB cable while holding the button. this should force a reset and mplabx should re-program the OS in the pickit.
if not try and force the OS upgrade, this should be within MPLAB some where.
 
 
you can also try MPLAB IPE (comes with MPLABX) as i find this always upgrades when mplab doesn't.

What version of Windows are you using? Are you using a USB 3.0 port? Do you have any other programs open that might be using the PK3 (such as MPLAB 8, MPLAB IPE etc.)? Do you have multiple instances of MPLAB X running?
