This is likely something asked before but I upgraded to Miktek 2.9 and now I can not compile my references. I got some help on stackflow tex site but my question was a bit different as now I have to use biber. The package manager says the biber file is 1.5 but the current biber is 1.8, and I keep getting an error of unidentified citation. I have looked at the files in package manager and it has a directory of texmf/miktek/bin but I don't know what this path is. I tried copying the newest biber version to miktek/bin in the install directory and then refreshing the database but doesn't help. It needs biber and not bibtex because I use apa style. How do I upload to install the updated package from the windows binaries on the biber website? ------------------------------------------- Joe King, M.A. Ph.D. Candidate Educational Psychology: Measurement, Statistics and Research Design University of Washington - Seattle 206-913-2912 <mailto:jp...@jo...%3cmailto:jp...@jo...> jp...@jo...<mailto:jp...@jo...> "I shall either find a way or make one." attributed to Hannibal Barca (Carthaginian General) ------------------------------------------- |

But this is simply an typo. The current biber in 32bit-Miktex (no idea if biber is now in 64bit-miktex) is 1.8. and biblatex is 2.8. and it if you got all updates (as user and as admin) it should work fine out of the box. Make a minimal example that demonstrates your problem and show the log-file and the blg-file. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ |

Thanks for helping Ulrike, i think you replied to me on stack i had put links but here are the files i am working with. so my code is below, i have tried to use addbibresource instead of bibliography and didnt help, i got minimal example from another persons question who worked with my code a bit and this works to the person Bernard but not on my machine, in larger examples it will compile everything but all i get are the bib keys instead of the cites. attached are the tex, bib, log, aux, bcf and blg files. the bbl file is empty. \documentclass [12pt]{article} % this must go first, there are many different classes \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage [american]{babel} \usepackage{csquotes}% recommended in output (biblatex) \usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex} \usepackage{titletoc} \DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa} \addbibresource{bobtest.bib} \begin{document} \parencite{Hox2010} \printbibliography \end{document} the bib file is. @book{Hox2010, address = {New York}, author = {Hox, Joop J.}, edition = {2}, file = {:C$\backslash$:/Users/Joe/Misc/Mendeley PDFs/Multilevel Analysis Techniques and Applications.pdf:pdf}, isbn = {1848728468}, keywords = {Linear Models}, mendeley-tags = {Linear Models}, pages = {392}, publisher = {Routledge Academic}, title = {{Multilevel Analysis: Techniques and Applications, Second Edition}}, year = {2010} } ________________________________ From: Ulrike Fischer <li...@ni...> To: mik...@li...

Well you attached a lot of files but the most important -- the blg -- is missing. But your blg-output on tex.sx showed quite clearly that you didn't run biber but bibtex. And this won't work. You didn't say what editor you are using but here is a list of descriptions how you can set up a variaty of editors to use biber instead of bibtex: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/154751/biblatex-with-biber-configuring-my-editor-to-avoid-undefined-citations -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ulrike Fischer |
