Active scanning of AP
Hello everyone,
About active scanning: Can the STA send data packets through the active scanning? In other words, through the active scanning the STA needs to check every channel by sending probe request and waits for an AP-response for specific time to decide leaving this channel and checking the next one. So, is it possible, that the STA can do this parallel with data transmitting on the associated channel?
What I read in the standard 802.11 explain only the active scanning process. In comparison to the WLAN-Functionality it wouldnt be possible that the STA can transmit data through the checking of other channels by active scanning process, but Im still not sure. Can anybody tell me something about, espicially about Cisco experience in this field?
Thanks in advance,
Robel Daher
Unfortunately i didn't get an answer on it, i didn't fina any material about this matter. Maybe i need to measure the data throughput on a STA through an active scanning.

10.7.3 MBP Wifi Problem - Endless Timeouts & Dropped connections
I've been reading around here a bit already and so I know many other people are having Wifi issues with Lion, but given that there are so many discussions and so many pages of talk, it's hard to go through it all, and using the search I haven't found anything that's quite similar to what I'm experiencing, so I'm starting a new topic...
Basically, I've got a late 2006 MacBook Pro, installed 10.7.1 (form 10.6.8) on in back in Aug 2011 and everything seemed to be fine. I updated to 10.7.2 sometime in Jan and still didn't notice any issues, but wasn't using Wifi at all at the time.
Then in Feb I moved and started using wifi (with a Cisco N router), and noticed that often, the system would not automatically reconnect to the network after waking up from sleep. Just selecting the network manually worked on the first try every time though, so it wasn't so bad.
At the end of April, I finally got around to installing the 10.7.3 update. I read it was supposed to fix wifi issues and so was looking forward to it. It installed fine and didn't seem to cause any problems...
2 days later I moved again (to India), and all **** broke loose... Now, I can rarely connect to wifi (a Beetel G router, configed with WPA). Around 25% of the time, the network won't show up in the list (despite being a clear 5ft from the base station), and when it does show up, 95% of the time I get a "connection timeout" error - often immeadiately, but sometimes it takes about 10sec to respond. On the same network, 2 Win 7 Dells and an iPad 1 all work flawlessly - it's not the router...
One the occasions that I am able to connect, it usually works fine, but if I put the computer to sleep and wake up again, there's no guarentee that the connection will work again - it's back to the lottery. And sometimes even when it's connected, the wifi stays (according to the menu indicator) but the internet connection disappears (to the point I can't even ping the router - 100% packet loss, let alone any internet server)
I've tried zapping everything I can think of (PRAM, SMC), repairing permissions, clearing the remembered networks from the System Prefs, deleting old Locations and creating new ones etc. I have a clean install of 10.7.1 that I booted off of, but it still had the same issues!

I'm pretty savy with computers and have dealt with all kinds of stuff before, but this one is beyond me, and is really annoying! I konw my machine is old, but it was totally useable up until these Wifi issues, and now wifi is basically useless.
From what I've read, it seems like its a driver issue with the Atheros card in my machine, but most people seem to be complaining about dropped connections (mine rarely drops) rather than timeout connection issues. I've also never had the "hardware not found" issue that many people have, so I think this is something different.
Anyone out there have any advice? I'm getting close to losing it with wifi since the update!Sorry - to add:
I don't think it's a question of WPA vs. WPA2, or even channel number - I have 2 identical routers here and neither work (both default to WPA Ch 11) but I changed one to WPA2, new SSID, various channels and still had the same problems.
Another thing to note that should be irrelevant, but who knows: the Firewire controller on my machine died back in Fall 2010 - to the point where the system won't start-up unless I remove the IOFirewire***.kext from /System/Library/Extensions , and as soon as I do that, it works flawlessly (minus Firewire). It meant I had a **** of a time installing Lion becuase I can't boot off the Recovery Partition (which has the drivers baked into it), but by cloneing my HD, installing Lion onto the clone via a borrowed machine, removing the .kext's and cloning back, I got it on and everything seems to be fine otherwise... I posted about that problem before, but never got any answers. And it wasn't just me, my father has a late 2007 MBP and the same firewire issue happened to his within 5 days of mine (not a power spike - I think it was shortly after some system update if I remember correctly). -
Wow... I am completely lost here...
I have 5000 tracks on Match. Worked generaly well for the past 2 years.
I'm using TuneUp to cleanup my albums tags. Once I've cleaned up the tags the way I want them, Match seems to push back the old tag and destroys all the changes I've made. I'm unable to delete tracks from the cloud, they still show up at the next "refresh" of Match.
I've reset my iTunes folder to a new one, blank, and tried to delete all the tracks from the cloud. No go. Is there a way to do a full reset of this thing? It's driving me insane..
Thanks for your input,
MarcIf there is an active scan happening while you are editing data this can happen also. The service can be a bit quirky. If you've added new music just wait for the auto-scan to kick of and complete and for the iCloud Status to change to its final state from "waiting" before you try to edit the ID3 tags. This the tags are reverting when and active scan is not happening then try disablilng iTM while holding down the Option key. This clears the cache. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds and open it again and re-enable the service.

USB wifi adapter can only handle one request or socket at a time
I have a usb wifi adapter that I bought recently. The strange thing is that if I'm doing only one thing that is using the network (e.g. downloading a file) it works good and fast. But say I'm downloading a file and I do ANYTHING else that uses the network (e.g. just opening a browser at google.ca), the download comes to a stop. Then if I close the browser, the download starts up again a couple seconds later, good and fast.
Another example is, say I'm in a Google Hangouts (video chat) session. As long as that is the only thing I have running, the chat works fine. If I open a second browser window, then the chat gets super choppy and pretty much un-usable until I close the second window.
So basically it seems like I can have only one open socket at a time, or else it can handle only one request at a time. Also, most webpages open very slowly as a result because the browser only seems to be able to download one static file at a time (e.g. js and css files needed by the page).
I'm sure it's a problem with the usb wifi adapter because I didn't have these problems when I was on a wired connection, and I have other devices using wifi (e.g. laptops and tablets) that don't have this problem either.
Rather than paste a bunch of output from commands, please kindly tell me what to run in order to gather any useful info.
Thanks,
Edit: The adapter is an ASUS USB n-53 (N600).

I'm wondering if changing drivers might help. Can someone help me interpret the installation instructions?

If you want for rt2870 driver to auto-load at boot time:
A) choose ra0 for first RT2870 WLAN card, ra1 for second RT2870 WLAN card, etc.
B) create(edit) 'ifcfg-ra0' file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/,
edit( or add the line) in /etc/modules.conf:
alias ra0 rt2870sta
C) edit(create) the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ra0
DEVICE='ra0'
ONBOOT='yes'
NOTE:
if you use dhcp, add this line too .
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
*D) To ease the Default Gateway setting,
add the line
GATEWAY=x.x.x.x
in /etc/sysconfig/network

If iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 won't open, stops responding, or unexpectedly quits, try using the steps below. You may want to print this document before following these steps.
Follow these steps if you're having issues installing iTunes.Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.Create a new user account
By creating a new user account, you can determine if the issue affects a specific Windows user account or all accounts. Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Open "Add or remove user accounts." (If you're using the Classic view in Windows Vista, open "User Accounts," and then open "Manage another account.")
Select "Create a new account" and follow the instructions to set up the account.
Once you create the new account, choose Start > Log Off.
Log in to the new user account.
Open iTunes and see if the issue you're experiencing persists in this new user account.
If you have the same issue in the new user account, proceed to the "System-wide troubleshooting" section. If you don't experience the same issue, proceed to the "User-specific troubleshooting" section.User-specific troubleshooting
If you experience the issue in one particular user account, the suggestions below may resolve the issue. Before proceeding, you'll need to make hidden files and folder visible in Windows using steps 1-5.
Remove iTunes Preference files. Some of the files that iTunes stores settings and preferences in may be unusable. iTunes saves its preferences in two folders. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The locations for the preference folders are:
c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Create a new iTunes Library.
Hold the Shift key while opening iTunes. You'll be asked to choose an iTunes library.
Choose Create Library.
In the following window, select a location to save the new iTunes Library.
Click Save. iTunes will open the new library. After you close iTunes, you can always select the original library by holding the Shift key while opening iTunes.
Recreate your iTunes Library. If your iTunes library has become unusable, rebuilding it may resolve the issue.
Check for issues with content files. Sometimes an audio file can cause iTunes to quit unexpectedly or stop responding when it's analyzing gapless playback information. To determine which file may be causing the issue, follow the steps below:
Quit iTunes.
Navigate to the iTunes folder:
Windows 7 and Windows 8:c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
Move the iTunes Library.itl file to your desktop.
Open iTunes. You shouldn't see any content in iTunes.
Choose File > Add Folder to Library.
Navigate to the folder where your music is located:
Windows 7 and Windows 8:c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
Choose an artist, album, or song to add to the library.
Wait for iTunes to successfully add the item to your library and perform the gapless playback scan.
If successful, continue adding songs to your library.
If there is an issue with one of your files, you'll notice your issue reappear after you add it to the library. You should repeat these steps, being careful not to add the files that caused the issue.
System-wide troubleshooting
When troubleshooting system-wide issues with iTunes, try these steps:
Check for viruses. Windows viruses can interfere with a variety of computer functions, including iTunes.
Make sure that you have current anti-virus software installed with up-to-date virus definitions.
Scan your system.
Check for anti-virus and Internet security software. Internet security software may cause iTunes to quit unexpectedly. Try disabling the Internet security software temporarily or exempting iTunes from any active scanning done by the software. If this resolves the issue, check with the maker of the software for an update to the software or its virus definitions. Learn more about fixing security software issues.
Check for conflicting processes. Sometimes other programs and startup items can conflict with iTunes. Learn how to troubleshoot conflicts using Msconfig in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Remove iTunes configuration files. Removing unusable configuration files from iTunes can resolve launch issues.
Check the iTunes installations. An improper installation of iTunes can contribute to a variety of issues. Follow these steps to completely reinstall iTunes.
Update the drivers on your PC. Outdated drivers on your computer can cause strange behavior with iTunes, iPod devices, and other apps. Learn how to update the drivers on your computer.

ITunes nearing 1GB of RAM consumption! Any ideas to lessen the load?
Hello -
My name is Erick and I'm an ACMT/Network Engineer. Apple-certified, but not Apple-employed.
I have encountered an issue in iTunes which was not resolved with the latest 10.6.3 update and was hoping for any community suggestions or advice.
First, context may be important: I use iTunes primarily as a Home Sharing home-base to stream my TV Shows and Movies to Apple TVs in my home. As a result, it (as well as the iMac) are on 24/7 with the exception of a daily scheduled task which quits and reopens iTunes to sync unwatched media to my iOS devices at 4:30AM.
I have noticed several things with iTunes 10.6 which I have documented in other questions here on the forums (long periods of unresponsiveness, the inability to scrub videos), but this issue may be just as significant and could be a root cause in my other problems. This particular question deals with RAM consumption. I have noticed for years that iTunes is a memory hog, so you won't find me shocked there, but what has shocked me is how the amount of RAM iTunes consumes has risen with the amount of RAM I've installed. I currently use an iMac (mid-2010) with a quad i7 and 16GB of RAM.
I have noticed lately that upon opening iTunes 10.6.1 (and 10.6 before it) that iTunes immediately captures about 250MB of RAM. While I have plenty to spare in comparison, I've noticed that the amount of RAM it consumes swells considerably throughout the day. For example, my iTunes is completely idle right now - no devices are connected, no media is streaming or caching, no store purchases are downloading, and iTunes Match/Genius is not actively scanning anything - but my iTunes shows 605MB of RAM. When playing an m4v file converted from mp4 (so we're talking maybe a 200MB media file - not an MKV convert or anything in 1080p), I've noticed iTunes balloon to 900+MB of RAM. If I quit the application and open it again, it immediately snatches up that 250MB or so of RAM, then balloons within minutes.
So while I expect iTunes to consume RAM, as it is a very resource-heavy and busy media center hub, I am surprised by the amount of RAM being consumed here and was wondering if anyone might be able to clarify whether I should consider this a "problem" or just iTunes being iTunes; and if it isn't a problem, are there still any suggestions toward how I could minimize RAM consumption? I realize that I have RAM to spare, but when I get into video conversions, music playback, and work on this computer (all the while my wife is streaming a video across the house on an Apple TV), I do want to make sure I'm not wasting memory on an application that might be ballooning unnecessarily (it is, after all, 6X the consumption of the next app in line).
Just for those who might be wondering what I've already tried, I've worked on several quick fix ideas to help remedy the situation (and hoped they would fix the other issues I've experienced with iTunes 10.6): I've rebuilt the library by opening a new library and importing from my previous iTunes LIbrary file; I've created a new library, dragged any media to it, and tried to play it; I've run iTunes in 32-bit mode. None of these has resolved the issue. I have also attempted to run these files from a new user account (with a new library or with the existing library), and have tried them from an external troubleshooting drive which is also running Lion 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.1.
Any ideas, suggestions, or recommendations anyone could provide to aid with this problem? While it's not crippling, it does cause some headaches as other applications begin fighting for memory. I also wonder if the amount of RAM it's consuming might be the source of some other playback and unresponsiveness issues I've experienced.
Thanks for any suggestions; I really appreciate your time.I have resolved my issue with iTunes' RAM consumption and wanted to post the solution for anyone who might be experiencing similar symptoms. It was really quite simple to fix, I just didn't see it for what it was:
iTunes Match was causing iTunes to utilize significant amounts of RAM to queue, refresh, or sync my iTunes Match database.
iTunes Match - which also forces Genius Mode to be on (something that used to cause my iTunes 10.5 to freeze and balloon in RAM usage before I turned it off) - would regularly attempt to refresh my database of 21,000 matched songs (none of which were stored on the computer - just in the cloud) and when it would attempt to update or refresh that library, the program would stop responding. The RAM ballooning I saw when the application launched would start to climb during that unresponsive period, when iTunes was attempting to pack more and more power into the Match check to get it to power through.
So, the simple solution was this: Turn iTunes Match off and iTunes quits freezing, and its RAM usage after 24 hours of uptime is about 130MB.
Now, that of course completely eliminates the usefulness of iTunes Match since the music is no longer accessible on this machine in this iTunes Library. So how to restore its usefulness without recreating the problem? Slightly more aggravating, but still working right: I created a separate, fresh new library and named it iTunes Match. When I need music, I hold option when selecting the iTunes app and select my Match Library, which has NOTHING else in it but iTunes Match. When I'm done with the music, I switch back to my 24/7 media streaming library that has my 2TB of TV Shows & Movies (and device sync relationships) in it.
It doesn't seem like iTunes Match causes freezing and RAM ballooning all by itself, it just seems like in a library that's also full of other stuff, it's the final straw that kills the performance. Split the libraries up and things seem to work really well in both.
Not a perfect solution, but until the next release of iTunes, this may be the best bet. I hope this helps someone else out there, but it at least cleared up my issue. Thanks for reading. -
ITunes crashes overnight with EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS
I leave iTunes running 24/7 as a music and video server for home sharing. After upgrading to a new 2012 iMac and migrating data, I had everything up and running again quickly. But I noticed that each day when I would wake up in the morning that iTunes had crashed overnight. At first I thought it was because I was still running iTunes 10.7 so I upgraded to 11.01 a few days ago, but the crashes continue.
It always happens when I'm not using it, although a few iphones and ipads will be visible in the side bar that sync wirelessly. However, I have iTunes set to not automatically sync. I have to manually click on sync for it to happen. iTunes match is on, but it shouldn't be actively scanning and uploading at 5-6AM when the crashes occur.
(1) I tried repairing permissions, and several things were fixed, but two things remain that it never fixes when I run repair a few times, and the second one that says it was repaired still comes up every time that it was repaired. I don't know if that affects things in this case.
"Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
Permissions differ on “usr/lib/ruby”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are drwxr-xr-x .
Repaired “usr/lib/ruby”
Permissions repair complete"
(2) For completeness I will add that I am running the very same background menubar apps that I did on the old 3GB RAM iMac with 10.7.5 where iTunes NEVER ever crash overnight. All apps are the most recent version which are - Dropbox, ServeToMe, LaCie network assistant, iCleanMemory, and Twonky Server. iCleanMemory is not set to do anything but display the RAM used. That is all I have running at the same time as iTunes, with about 13GB free RAM.
(3) Below is a copy of the crash report from this morning. The KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS was different yesterday = Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x000000013c28bd0c
Can anyone help, short of me having to bring in the iMac with my 3GB external drive with iTunes library?

I completely removed iTunes 11.0.1 using iboostup premium app from the app store, and re-installed it. (had to chg ownership of iTunes to me (read and write) to delete the app itself). Several items in the library com.apple.itunes were removed, including Cache.db, goog-phish-shavar.dat and goog-phish-shavar.db, and StoreLocalStorage.plist (i saved them in a folder instead of leaving in the trash)
I have the iTunes side bar visible, and after I relaunched iTunes I noticed that the little "cloud" icon to the right of the Movies and TV Shows sections is not there anymore, only the little cloud to the right of the Music section. My 1st Gen Apple TV and iPhone and iPad still show up in the sidebar wirelessly.
I just told iTunes to update iTunes Match to see what happens. It's at "Delivering your iTunes Match results..." as I type to this point. Okay, it's done no problem, 17,788 songs are in the cloud.
However, the little cloud icon next to movies and tv shows is still gone, even though it's set to show movies and TV Shows in the cloud. The 2 movies and 9 TV shows that are purchased but not on my computer still do not show up in their sections. The 20 songs that are in the cloud that I don't want on my computer show up in the music section as downloadable, like normal.
I assume this is all due to my totally removing and re-installing iTunes, but I can't see how to get them back. When I choose hide TV shows in the cloud, and then choose SHOW TV shows in the cloud it does nothing. Same with movies. -
Authority to save photos in Photoshop
All of a sudden, in Photoshop, I can't save photos to certain places. I get the message that I don't have that authority, and I should contact
the administrator for permission. How to I correct this? It is new since I installed a new printer and a new version of Norton Internet
Securities. Please help. Thanks.Curt,
I agree that Norton would be a prime suspect. With active-scan anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-anything, one probably has to set Permissions, or the writing (and maybe even reading) a file, will be stopped.
Some of the newer anti-whatever programs, really mess with programs, that do a lot of reads/writes, like Premiere Pro, which creates a lot of working files, and then needs to read from them. Often the anti-whatever programs will just cause a time-out, as it insists on scanning all files, when written, and then scanning them again, before it allows a read from that file. I would anticipate that similar is happening with PS, especially during a write (Save/Save_As) operation.
For that reason, most people using Premiere Pro turn all such programs OFF, when involved in an editing session. Of course, they should NOT have any Internet presence, during an editing session, as the "gates are down."

There isn't a seamless solution unless you fall asleep and wake up when computers have reached the Star Trek level of development.
iTunes does not actively scan for additions to the media folder. The only way a library knows something has been added its if that particular library did the adding. If you add with one library and then start another using the same media folder it won't see the addition unless you also add it to that one.
You could split your media storage with a single library, keeping some on the external and some on the internal. If the external is not attached and you try to play a song iTunes will present you with a ! saying the link is broken, but if you quit iTunes, attach the drive and restart the links should fix themselves again. There isn't a way to get one iTunes library to automatically update another except what might be possible with Home Sharing and I don't know if this extends to your particular application. I believe it might also end up duplicating media like crazy. I can't run Home Sharing so I can't test it to see exactly what is possible. It may require you be running the libraries from different user accounts.
You could search on the web for third party tools that might synchronize multiple libraries. -

Excel 2010 temp Files do not delete on network share automatically when closed *Word 2010 do!*
Hi,
saw this post in similar Versions but never with a "cool solution" :)
We got NetApp 2050 as Filer in a Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain with Windows 7 Clients and Office 2010 Pro Plus, all up to date with WSUS.
If I open an Excel 2010 sheet on the Netapp Share or a Share on the Domain Controller and close it, it do not delte the temp file.
Same to PowerPoint 2010.
But with Word 2010, this works!
Therefor I don't think, this will be the NTFS permissions or Network issues.
We also got VMware Clients with Windows 7 and Office 2010. There the issue does not occure!!!
May be something in Group Policies? Could it be some Microsoft Updates?
I'm very interested in your opinions...
Best regards...Hi,
As far as I know, the issue usually caused by the anti-virus actively scanning Excel files (XLS, XLSX, or XLSM files). Please try to make the anti-virus to not actively scan Excel files.
Then, if you are using Kaspersky 2009, I recommend we try the below method:
Go to Run>Regedit>Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\KLIF\Parameters>Create the key NonCachedIo (Type: Dword Value:1)
Next, some other customer solved the issue by turning off the index with the effected folders.
Hope it's helpful.

When I add a folder to the library, does that mean that 'later' when I drop a new file into that folder (already added) it will automatically end up in iTunes? (or do I have to add file/folder to library every time I have a new file??) I'm using XP...
iTunes does not actively scan the media folders. If you manually add content to a folder, then you must add that content to iTunes manually via the File > Add File/Folder feature.
The only folder that gets scanned is the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder. -
How to integrate a whole-house user setup
How to integrate a whole-house user setup
To start, I have seen an AppleTV box through the window of an Apple Store, about a year ago. That's about my degree of experience with one. I don't know what it needs in terms of file server support.
You don't need to add another computer in all this. Put the files on some central drive and share media off there using multiple libraries on each computer -- that's pretty much what you are doing now anyway. You might be able to piggy-back your current drive onto a Time Capsule or similar. The main issue will be transferring files to the drive without breaking links in existing libraries. They may be ways to facilitate that so they can be repaired easily. For that matter, as long as the present external drive remains unchanged then iTunes may not even notice it is connected differently and you'e up and running in no time.
You may be able to move your wife's collection to the external by consolidating to the media folder there. If all of her collection is unique you can probably even add it to the same media folder as the main one. If there's overlap in content that may be moderately risky (I personally would try it but would make sure I had a solid backup first).
iTunes 11 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12165 - more information at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22026652 - and steps 5-8 in https://discussions.apple.com/message/24491967
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
Realize that iTunes does not actively scan the media folder for additions. If your wife puts a movie in her library it will add to the media folder but it won't automatically appear on another computer until a person actively goes to the media foler and adds that file to their iTunes library. It's like a public library (except now my library tells me if they have added a book by an author I like so I guess my analogies are starting to fall apart). -

ColonelONeill, has been working with you, so I will let the two of you continue until the malware issue is resolved. However, I would like to comment on the question regarding two AV's.
Anti-Virus programs take up an enormous amount of your computer's resources when they are actively scanning your computer. Having two anti-virus programs running at the same time can cause your computer to run very slowly, to become unstable, and even, in rare cases, to crash.
With more than one anti-virus program on the same computer, there is a chance for conflicts if a machine becomes infected. At that point each of the anti-virus programs wants to "control" the situation and in some cases, the job of removing the virus doesn't get done at all. In addition, you will experience slowdown as each is trying to run in realtime.
A better option would be to install one good anti-virus, keep it current, and use it as designed. If a second opinion is needed, use one of the online virus scanners or run one as an “On-Demand” scanner only. In other words, if you choose to install more than one anti-virus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.

Copying Query & Formatting on Worksheet to New Worksheet in Same Workbook
Hi,
Can anyone advise me the quickest way to copy a query that is working on one worksheet to a new worksheet. More importantly how do I retain the formatted features of the worksheet from which I am coping from? I have tried to copy the query to a new worksheet which is OK but I cannot seem to retain the format features from the original worksheet. Am I missing something simple? We are on version 3.5.
ThanksShanky_621: Thanks for taking the time to help. The following blog article talks about what I'm trying to do:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;914288
The goal is to recreate the inefficent plan on a test database without copying the data. The article talks about this as a "statistics only copy".
You noted, "SQL server generating query plan is internal mechanism into which we cannot interfere unless we use Query hint...". The engine uses statistics and histograms to generate plans then choose the most efficent one for execution. Those statistics
are generated from data in the database, and that process is done periodically. You don't think the engine actively scans each table in a query each and every time a query is run? Right! That would be crazy. It just checks the stats. What I'm trying to
do is pull the stats from one database into another. The article does a better job explaining this.
JRStern (Josh): Yes brother! You understand what I'm trying to do. Like you, I am wrestling with a feature/process I've only read about. The actual execution is... not as expected. I actually just found the article I noted to Shanky. I'm trying that process
now. I'll tell you how it goes.
