Problems:

  1. footnotes are not filed with info from *.bib instead only the cite key is shown
  2. no bibliography shown

I use texmaker on iOS with The MacTeX-2014 Distribution.

quick build: LaTeX + Bib(la)tex + LaTeX (2x) + dvips + ps2pdf + viewpdf As bib file I use the example bib delivered with biblatex

texmaker pref. config.

Here my code:

\documentclass[12pt, oneside]{Thesis}

\usepackage[%
    backend=biber,%
    style=verbose-ibid%
]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.\autocite{aristotle:rhetoric}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

What I noticed, that no *.bbl is being created.

I don't know how to fix this am trying for days reading through manuals and stack exchange but I'm stuck here...

Solution to my problem: I changed it "/usr/texbin/biber" to "/usr/texbin/biber" %.bcf in the texmaker preferences

    Did you actually run Biber? – Joseph Wright Nov 05 '14 at 09:50
  • I think yes. Its in /usr/texbin/biber and this is triggered with the quick build. I'm not sure if the order (LaTeX + Bib(la)tex + LaTeX (2x) + dvips + ps2pdf + viewpdf) is correct – ricehatmatt Nov 05 '14 at 09:53
  • can you try from the command line? It might be that the biber cache is corrupted, and then effectively you cannot run biber – Guido Nov 05 '14 at 09:54
  • OK, it that case are there any errors shown in the .blg file? – Joseph Wright Nov 05 '14 at 09:54
  • I did this in terminal:

    biber /Users/air/SkyDrive/Thesis/latex/not so bad/mwe_main.tex

    answere:

    INFO - This is Biber 1.9 INFO - Logfile is '/Users/air/SkyDrive/Thesis/latex/not.blg' ERROR - Cannot find control file '/Users/air/SkyDrive/Thesis/latex/not.bcf'! - did you pass the "backend=biber" option to BibLaTeX?

  • sorry how do i make a line break in comments for better readability? – ricehatmatt Nov 05 '14 at 10:07
  • move to the directly where the mwe_main.tex file and then run pdflatex mwe_main and then biber mwe_main. What do yo get? – Guido Nov 05 '14 at 10:09
  • Your biber setting seems to be missing the %.bcf or %. – Ulrike Fischer Nov 05 '14 at 10:16
  • @UlrikeFischer I changed it "/usr/texbin/biber" to "/usr/texbin/biber" %.bcf and it working now :-D thank you so much! – ricehatmatt Nov 05 '14 at 10:27
  • I voted to close this question as a duplicate, since the answer there addresses this problem here quite well. – moewe Nov 09 '14 at 16:22
