Computer not booting after updating to Sierra

Hi all, I finally updated my 2011 MacBook Pro to Sierra yesterday. When it was done installing it booted up and I used it. I didn't shut it down until earlier this evening. A little later when I went to turn it on it gives the grinding and musical tone that it always has when booting up.

Yeah thinking about it, A go pro or similar type device would be the best option as it is a rechargeable device so doesn’t need an external power supply and video captured is saved on to an SD or Micro SD card so can be then transered on to a computer I’m not sure however how accessible the Go

I was going to suggest GoPro myself. They have all kinds of mounts for cameras, the latest generation is 4K and very small form factor. I have a bunch of the hero 5 sessions and a few of the other 1080P models. They work with SD cards and can be paired with your phone using their associated

Even when one sets a specific point (BlindSquare has the same feature), it will not be accurate. GPS is only accurate to within 9 feet under optimum conditions, and I have seen the accuracy as low as 1.5 miles under very stormy conditions. That said, GPS will get one into the area, and usually

Do you mean What's App? If yes, it works fine with VO. I tend to prefer the native IOS app, but I find that friends in Europe and Latin-America tend to prefer What's App for whatever reason. So, I keep it on my phone, but only use it when contacting those people. HTH, Donna > On Jan 7,
