Problem with programming an Attiny85.ATtiny85: Error message - avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature

I'm trying to program an Attiny85 chip using an arduino unoArduino Uno as an ISP following this two turtorials- tutorials: httpInstructables://www.instructables.com/id/Program-an-ATtiny-with-Arduino/ Program an ATtiny With Arduino & and http:/Programming an ATtiny w/highlowtech Arduino 1.org/?p=16956 (or 1.0)

  but every time I try to upload the sketch I get this error message:

avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature. Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check.

     avrdude: Yikes!  Invalid device signature.
     Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
     this check.

I have tried different arduinoArduino boards/changing port and different AttinyATtiny chips but the results are all the same,. I have also checked the wiring multiple times and it seems to be correct.
