The type of this column cannot be changed because it is currently being indexed

Hi,
We have a custom library with some columns defined. This library we have saved as a template and then trying to create a library using the template. When we try creating the new library using the template we get the following error:
The type of this column cannot be changed because it is currently being indexed.
We are not trying to change any column type just creating a new library using the template. The existing library does have a couple of indexes specified. Removing a index that is applied on a column of choice data type (drop down selection) seems to work.
However, would like to know why this is an issue with the index?
Although this is perfectly supported. Checked, this does not happen when I try with a new library with a choice data type and index applied on that library, it creates the template and then a new library correctly. So, what's going wrong with my earlier
library?

Hi Croute,
I had checked that thread earlier and tried the Managed Metadata Service Application solution. However does not help in my case. I still get the error.
Also, just to cross-check we created a new library from scratch and added choice column and applied index on this column. Saved this as template and created a new library using this template. It works fine without the error. So not sure what is wrong with
the earlier library and list template that gives the error
The type of this column cannot be changed because it is currently being indexed.
Also, note even after giving this error the library is created with all the columns and indexes. But we need to provide a reason for the error above.

Follow the instructions here > iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

Everytime I try to sync with my iTunes on Windows I get the following message, 'This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Please run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again.' Help please?!

I bought an iPad 2 about 8 weeks ago, having had iTunes and an iPod touch for about 3 years previously. From the moment I plugged the iPad into the laptop the above message pops up.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Have deleted and reinstalled all iTunes software from the system, tried using a new cable to fix it but nothing seems to sort it. My iTunes no longer recognises my iPod Touch now either!
Please help!

Try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

I keep getting the error message "This iPod cannot be used because Apple Device Manager Service is not started." HELP!!

Yeah, so I keep getting that error message. The thing is that the service IS running, and it's set to "automatic". I've reinstalled every shred of Apple software on my PC, I've updated my virus software, and yet it still isn't working. I'm at a dead end here, so any help would be great.

I FIXED IT! Oh sweet Jesus Mary and Bob....
So after much scouring of the Googles, I found that the source of the problem was a little program called FoxyProxy Video Utility. It was causing various Windows services to crash--AMDS being the most noticeable. I uninstalled that program and PRESTO, my iPod shows up on iTunes!

Error when installing "contents of this disk cannot be changed".

Install 10.5.8 COMBO update, then try SL.

Everytime I connect my iPod to USB, iTunes says the following: This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes.

I have the latest 64-bit version of iTunes on Windows 7 Ultimate. Everything was fine until recently. Now when I connect my iPod Touch to the USB to sync with iTunes, I get the following message: "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes" I have removed, repaired, and installed the 64-bit version numerous times as well as disabled all antivirus / adware utilities. Same message appears when I plug in my iPod. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using these instructions:

This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not

I have a Dell 32 bit Windows XP and an iPod touch.
Recently I tried to sync my iPod but received the following error:
This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.
So I googled the error message and someone suggested that I go to My Computer>Manage>Services>Apple Mobile Device and manually start the service.
However when I tried to manually start the service, I got the following message:
Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified.
I tried reinstalling iTunes, but no help.

Hello Jonashin,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Perhaps try re-installing just the Apple Mobile Device driver as described in this Apple support document.

Getting error while creating form and report on webservice: ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.

i am using the following description to create a web service reference:
web reference :REST
Name :Yahoo Map
URL :http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/mapImage
HTTP Method: GET
Basic Authentication: No
Add Parameter:
Name       Type
appid        String
location    String
Output Format: XML
XPath to Output Parameters : /Result
Output Parameter:
Name       Path       Type
Url          /text()      String
Then i tried to create form and report on webservice:
Web Service Reference Type: Yahoo Map
Operation: doREST
All the fields i keep as default
I tick the checkbox (url)in report Parameter
After clicking next whereever required i click create button
I get the following error
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
Please someone help to solve this as i need to fix it urgently.

i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!
