When trying to install the FMPA12 updater, I got the following error: "The updates cannot occur because you have selected a device which has not been file indexed. Enable indexing via the mdutil system utility." Thank you so much.

Mac or Windows?

If this is a Mac system, enable Spotlight and use it to index your hard drive. The installer needs to be able to find your installed copy of FileMaker in order to update it and can't do if if the hard drive isn't indexed.
