How it is posible to fix this script?
Yes, I´m changing the collection in the foreach loop and this is the reason for this error.
An error occurred while enumerating through a collection: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.. At C:\Users\user\Documents\PowerShell\ChangeAllListsV2.ps1:47 char:20 + foreach <<<< ($list in $webLists) + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Microsoft.Share...on+SPEnumerator:SPEnumerator) [], RuntimeException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : BadEnumeration

回答1:
The SPListCollection tends to modify the collection when updating its properties (fields, event receivers, etc.). You can use a for-loop instead:
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $webLists.Count; $i++)
{
$list = $web.Lists[$i];
# ...
}

You can try copying the collection you're currently iterating on to another collection (an array or a list) and then iterate on that new collection.
Something like this:
$collection = @(1, 2, 3, 4)
$copy = @($collection)
$collection[0] = 10
$collection -join " "
$copy -join " "
The code above gives the following output:
10 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
Note that the $copy variable refers to a different collection.

I know this is a pretty old thread. This is for anybody ending up to this page looking for an answer.
The idea is, like other answers suggest, to copy the collection (using the clone() method) to another and iterate "another" and modify the original variable inside the loop without having to use for in place of foreach:
A collection of type ArrayList:
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$collection1 = "Foo","bar","baz"
$($collection1.Clone()) | foreach {
$collection1.Remove("bar")
}
Output:
PS H:\> $collection1
Foo
baz
A collection of type Hashtable:
[System.Collections.Hashtable]$collection2 = @{
"Forum" = "Stackoverflow"
"Topic" = "PowerShell"
}
$($collection2.Clone())| foreach {
$collection2.Remove("Forum")
}
Output: PS H:> $collection2
Name Value
---- -----
Topic PowerShell
And, a basic array:
[System.Array]$collection3 = 1, 2, 3, 4
$($collection3.Clone()) | foreach {
$collection3[$collection3.IndexOf($_)] = 10
}
Output:
PS H:\> $collection3
10
10
10
10
As long as your collection is not of fixed size.

Check: http://soreddymanjunath.blogspot.in/2014/07/collection-was-modified-enumeration.html
Here is anonther example for same issue
if($web.IsMultilingual -eq $true )
{
foreach($cul in $web.SupportedUICultures)
{
if($cul.LCID -ne $webCul.LCID -and $cul.LCID -ne "1033")
{
$web.RemoveSupportedUICulture($cul)
}
}
$web.Update()
}
for the first time it will go through the loop foreach will remove supported culture for frist time, when it comes to loop for the second iteration then it will throw you the exception “Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute”,
Solution to Above problem is to Store to values to modified in a Arraylist and try to modify which will fix the problem, Here i am storing Arraylist called enumcul and inserting values into it and modifying it...
$enumcul=New-Object Collections.ArrayList
$i=0
if($web.IsMultilingual -eq $true )
{
foreach($cul in $web.SupportedUICultures)
{
if($cul.LCID -ne $webCul.LCID -and $cul.LCID -ne "1033")
{
$enumcul.Insert($i, $cul)
$i=$i+1
}
}
foreach( $k in $enumcul)
{
$web.RemoveSupportedUICulture($k)
$web.Update()
}
