LaTeX + BibTeX writes "author?" in front of each citation

I used to write my papers on Windows, with all my citations in a .bib file, which is imported like this:

% Bibliography
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{MyBibliography}

This all compiled fine. I recently switched to Mac (using TexShop), which produces nearly the same, except that in front of every citation in the text, it writes '(author?)'. Like this:

enter image description here

Other than that, the references, the numbers, and the bibliography itself are exactly the same. This is very irritating. What could have gone wrong here?

Different encoding of your files? – Jun 14 '15 at 11:22
Perhaps... How do you check that, and how can one fix it? – Jelle Jun 14 '15 at 11:22

It seems like something is redefining how unresolved references look like. Double check the key you are calling using \cite and the key that is given in the bib-database. If that's not it, please provide a minimal working example. – Johannes_B Jun 14 '15 at 11:27

Does this help? Why do I get (author?) when I use \citet with natbib? – Torbjørn T. Jun 14 '15 at 13:41
