ERROR: Timed out waiting for Arduino 101 - anything I can do?

I just received an Arduino 101 so I did the following in a wave of excitement...

  1. Connected the USB cable between it and my Macbook Pro
  2. Started the Arduino IDE version 1.6.7
  3. Wrote a little bit of code
  4. Selected Tools | Boards | Boards Manager... and installed the Intel Curie Boards as per Getting Started
  5. Selected Tools | Board: "Arduino 101"
  6. Selected Tools | port: "/dev/cu.usbmodemFA141 (Arduino 101)"
  7. Selected Sketch | Upload

I was expecting something amazing, but I got the error:

Starting upload script Payload: /var/folders/jr/5rmqcrqj58103d4p1f6_3sjr0000gn/T/build7c6ce067b9e8a57f9917c651ec494989.tmp/orientation.ino.bin Waiting for device... ERROR: Timed out waiting for Arduino 101. 

Is there anything I can do to debug this or did I miss a step perhaps?

(I tried the good ol' turn it off and on again, including shutting the IDE down).
