I have a pair of Skull Candy Crushers which I use for audio when playing on my PS4. I connect them directly to the 3.5mm jack in the controller. The audio is never quite loud enough. Is there any way that I can make the sound louder? I ve already maxed out the volume in the audio settings

I just received my summons in the mail and it was for June 22nd of next month. Unfortunately this date falls right on my first day of summer school for college. I can't afford to miss this class or I will have to take an extra semester of school. The furthest I could set back my summons was 2 weeks. Going to jury duty could greatly put me at a disadvantage with school. I know in California using school as an excuse isn't a legal reason to avoid serving on a jury. Are there any alternative methods I can take?

I normally wouldn't be at all opposed to jury duty, but my circumstances have made it impossible.

About a week ago, I was driving around town when I reached an intersection that has a red light camera on it. It turned yellow as I approached, and I thought I could make it through. I was definitely going too fast to make a safe stop so I decided to drive through the light. I thought I'd make it but just as I was entering the intersection the light flashed which made me assume I ran a red light. I had heard of countless tickets being thrown out due to multiple reasons and I was wondering if it were possible that mine would be thrown out due to it being too close to call. It's not like I blatantly ran a red light that had been red for a while. The light didn't even turn green until I was through the intersection.

I was in the market to buy a MacBook Pro Retina model, and found a guy looking to sell his.

It's the baseline 2013 edition. He sent me pictures and it has the original box as well as everything that comes with it neatly inside the case. The display was powered on and showed the original setup screen as though he had never set up the device himself.

He said all in all he payed 1100 for it at best buy, and could still return it but would prefer to have cash rather than put it back on his credit card.

He sent a picture of the receipt corroborating the exact day he said he bought it, and showed exactly the model MacBook he told me he was selling.

We bargained and he agreed to let it go for 950.

Is it possible that i'm getting scammed considering how good a price i'm getting?

He agreed to meet in a very public place so everything seems legit.

I was looking to buy a Retina MacBook Pro, and was contacted on Craigslist by someone looking to sell their Mac.

It's a 2012 Retina 13 inch model and they said they bought it on 2-28-14. Sent pictures and it looked as though it had yet to have been set up. They paid 1100 for it but said they'd let it go for 950.

I asked if they had the original purchase receipt and they said they do.

I had heard of a scam where people would sell a MacBook, then remotely lock it and not unlock it until you paid them extra cash.

If it hasn't been initially yet, should I worry about that being an issue?

If they try to scam me and I took the original purchase receipt to apple, would they be able to unlock it, if this scam was to occur?

I'm just trying to cover my bases before making a purchase.

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch model with the following specs:

2.2GHz Core i7 Quad Core Processor

750Gb Hard Drive

Radeon 6750 Graphics with 1gb DDR5

4GB Ram

An individual contacted me on craigslist asking if I wanted to trade for his gaming computer with the following specs:

Intel Core i7 950 CPU @ 3.07 GHz

GTX 480 nvidia GPU

Asus Sabertooth X58 Mobo

256GB SSD

10GB Ram

Blu Ray Drive

CD Drive

Wireless Card

Bluetooth Card

For my Mac, would this be a good trade, and would this gaming computer run Current games well?

I'm a 21 year old male and over the past week or so I've been having some urinary issues including:

Very frequent urination. (Up to 25 times a day)

Sometimes sudden uncontrollable urges to urinate.

Constant feeling of having to urinate.

Urinating but only a little is coming out.

Very clear urine that doesn't look normal, but not cloudy or foul smelling.

Having to urinate every 30 minutes or so.

It has gotten progressively worse over the past few days. What could be wrong with me?

I'm a 21 year old male and about 2 months ago I started developing symptoms that included:

-Constant feeling of having to urinate

-Frequent urination

-Urgent strong sensation of having to urinate

-Urinating, but only very small amounts

There has been no burning sensation or any pain after I go to the bathroom, but after going a few times my kidneys seem to feel sore from working so hard.

After going to the bathroom, I'll feel relieved, but only for a short duration before feeling the sensation of having to go to the bathroom again. These symptoms started a couple months ago but have gotten worse in the last week or so and it's starting to affect my well-being.

I believe it may be a bladder infection but have rejected that due to how much rarer it is in men.

if you don't believe it could be a bladder infection, then what else might it signify?

Any suggestions would be great.

I have a 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro.

I have noticed lately that when I play games such as mine craft while my MacBook is plugged into the charger, after a while the charger gets really hot. Is that normal? or could there be an issue?

The other day while leaving my house for work, I drove by an individual driving a pickup truck. We exchanged looks, and he proceeded to turn his car around and follow me through the neighborhood trailing me closely. When I stopped at a stop sign, he pulled up next to me and told me to pull over my car. As I pulled over he stopped behind me and exited his car to start walking to my door. He was driving a civilian vehicle and wasn't dressed in uniform. He pulled out a badge and yelled out "CHP, please exit your vehicle now!" Not trusting him, I decided to take off in my car and drive away. He ran back to his vehicle and attempted to pursue me. After about a mile, he abandoned his pursuit and made a violent U-turn into oncoming traffic and sped off.

If this man is who he said he was, did he have any right pulling me over and accosting me like he tried to do?

He lives down the street from me and I'm fairly certain he knows which house I am in.

thanks!

I recently purchased a PS3 that was a new 12gb model at best buy. after buying a couple games today, I noticed that there is about 4gb required for each game and obviously my system doesn't have the capacity to handle those kind of games.

Is there some hardware changes in this new PS3 system that makes it so it doesn't require you to download the game to the hard drive?

If that isn't possible than would I be able to use some type of external hard drive to play games on it?

The other day I visited my doctor over some anxiety I've been having lately. He wrote me a Rx for Ativan and told me to take it if I start to feel anxious.

I've done a lot of research about it, and have heard some very positive reviews about the drug as well as some very negative reviews about it. I've yet to try it, and I'm kind of nervous to give it a shot as I've never taken medication for anxiety.

Has anyone taken it and can try and explain how it was for them?

The other day I went to my doctor to talk about some anxiety issues I've had over the last year or so.

My anxiety isn't constant, but rather fluctuates and comes in stages. I can sometimes go months without feeling stressed or anxious, and out of nowhere anxiety will hit me and affect my life negatively.

We talked for a while and he seemed to think that Ativan might be able to help me.

He wrote me a prescription and told me to only use it if I'm feeling anxious, and to not make a habit out of it.

I got the prescription filled today but have yet to try it.

I've read some horror stories of people getting really addicted to it and finding it very hard to get off of.

On the other hand, a lot of people had said that it worked miracles for them and found that it really helped them get rid of their anxiety.

I'm a young, healthy adult who doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs, or take any other prescriptions and have decided to only take it very sparingly.

Under these circumstances is it a safe drug to take, and would I be at risk of developing an addiction if only using Ativan sporadically?

Over the last 6 months or so, I have been having an issue where I have to go pee anywhere from 5 to 10 times a day. I know that's way too many times.

Also, after I have a bowel movement, it seems that less than 10 minutes later I'm having to go pee.

I don't see a correlation between how much fluids I'm drinking and the amount I'm urinating in that it seems no matter how much or how little I drink i'm finding that I have to pee regardless.

The main thing people assume with someone who constantly has to pee a lot is that they might be diabetic, but when I went to my doctor 3 months ago, all my levels including my blood sugar were in the healthy area and he told me I'm not at risk for diabetes.

I don't feel any pain or discomfort when I pee either.

if it helps, I'm a 20 year old male.

A few months ago, my father's girlfriend moved into our home. The agreement was that she wouldn't pay rent or utilities, but that she would be the one to provide the food for everyone in the home. In present time, my father has decided that they aren't going to work out due to personal reasons and told her that he wanted her to leave as soon as she can. He would like her out of the house by the 1st of January 2014. She claims she does not have the necessary finances to move out by that date, but my dad is sticking firm to the eviction date.

How would he go about evicting his now ex-girlfriend from our home within legal boundaries?

Is she legally able to stay here due to her just paying for food?

I recently traded my MacBook Pro for a MacBook Air with someone in my area. When I go into the AppStore, it allows me to sign into my Apple account and download apps, but when I go to my updates tab, in order to update it says I have to sign in to a different E-mail account that belongs to the individual I traded with. It doesn't allow me to sign into my own account from that screen and is preventing me from doing any updates to my iLife software.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

My contract states that I'm not eligible for a phone upgrade until 6/03/14 without paying full retail price for a phone.

My phone is a piece of garbage at this point, and I'd like to get one. Is there any way they'd allow me to do an early upgrade?

or am I stuck?

recently I had to move my desktop up into my room, and after trying to move my comcast modem upstairs next to my desktop, I can't get any internet signal..

when I put the modem back downstairs where it was originally set up, it works fine again.

Is there something in that line downstairs that allows the modem to work there, but not up in my room?

I recently picked up a 2012 MacBook Air, and downloaded a program called SMCfancontrol. I like to use it to monitor temperatures while I play games such as minecraft on it.

When I play, it gets anywhere between 90-100 degrees Celsius. That's rather hot.

Is it normal for MacBook Air models to heat up?

About a year ago, I purchased a Radeon HD 6770 for my system and installed it.

When I first installed it, it ran amazingly, and played every game I owned at a high FPS without any issues.

Now, it has been very sluggish and not running well at all. I can barely cap above 30 frames on any game that I play. I've always been good at keeping the drivers up to date for it, as well as keeping my system running well.

I was wondering if there's something I should do in order to get it running as well as it was.

I don't have the money right now to go out and buy a new GPU
