MiKTeX (updated); TeXworks Used to do this a couple of months ago, now after PC and MiKTeX reinstall (Win7) bibliographies on old files seem not to be working any more. Read many similar questions, no help.

    \documentclass{article}

    \usepackage{fontspec,xunicode,xltxtra}
    \usepackage[lithuanian]{babel}
    \setromanfont{Times New Roman}
    \usepackage[bibstyle=authortitle]{biblatex}
    \addbibresource[datatype=bibtex]{refs}

    \begin{document}
    \pagebreak

    Polish citation\footcite[21]{bogucka84}.
    Ukrainian citation\footcite[181]{блануца07}.

    \end{document}

For refs.bib I used this:

    @book {     bogucka84,
    author      = "Maria Bogucka",
    title       = "Gdańscy ludzie morza w XVI-XVIII w.",
    date        = "1984",
    publisher   = "Wydawnictwo Morskie",
    location    = "Gdańsk",
    }

    @book {     блануца07,
    author      = "Андрiй Блануца",
    title       = "Землельнi Володиння Волинцькоï шляхти в другiй половинi XVI см.",
    date        = "2007",
    publisher   = "Iнститут iсторiï Украïни НАН Украïнии",
    location    = "Киïв",
    }

Once I try XeLaTeX+Bibtex+XeLaTeX all but citations work. I come from humanities, so I guess I'm easily baffled by such things; nevertheless, baffled I am.

Add the extension for refs

\addbibresource[datatype=bibtex]{refs.bib}

Code:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode,xltxtra}
\usepackage[lithuanian]{babel}
\setromanfont{Times New Roman}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{refs.bib}
    @book {     bogucka84,
author      = "Maria Bogucka",
title       = "Gdańscy ludzie morza w XVI-XVIII w.",
date        = "1984",
publisher   = "Wydawnictwo Morskie",
location    = "Gdańsk",
}

@book {     блануца07,
author      = "Андрiй Блануца",
title       = "Землельнi Володиння Волинцькоï шляхти в другiй половинi XVI см.",
date        = "2007",
publisher   = "Iнститут iсторiï Украïни НАН Украïнии",
location    = "Киïв",
}
\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage[bibstyle=authortitle]{biblatex}
\addbibresource[datatype=bibtex]{refs.bib}          %% here

\begin{document}
\pagebreak

Polish citation\footcite[21]{bogucka84}.
Ukrainian citation\footcite[181]{блануца07}.
\printbibliography          %% needed to print the references
\end{document}

Run xelatex biber and the xelatex. You get:

Also, please note that to actually print the references, it is necessary to put \printbibliography. Also, loading the csquotes package is recommended by biblatex in general. However, in this case it doesn't do much, because Lithuanian is still not supported both by biblatex and csquotes (Thanks to Enrico).

Edit:

The error shown in comment below

data source C:\Users\naglis\AppData\Local\Temp\par-6e61676c6973\cache-01bc9c9677f4177400d267‌​bb148325ab7a8a2575\inc\lib/Biber/LaTeX/recode_data.xml not found in .

This seems to be a case of broken biber due to corrupt binary cache. From biber manual (page32, section 4), a screen shot:

enter image description here

Please read section 4.1 also. The essence is

Whenever you update to a new binary, biber will create its binary cache afresh. If the process is killed during this first run, then binary cache won't be properly created resulting in a broken biber. That is the error you are getting.

Solution

Delete the directory C:\Users\naglis\AppData\Local\Temp\par-6e61676c6973 completely and re-run biber. This first run will take some time, hence be patient.

    You should also be mentioned that \printbibliography is necessary for actually printing the references. Loading the csquotes package is recommended. – egreg Jan 16 '13 at 00:15
  • Well, it's recommended by biblatex in general. However, in this case it doesn't do much, because Lithuanian is still not supported both by biblatex and csquotes. :( – egreg Jan 16 '13 at 00:25
  • Nope, no help. Unless I am doing something wrong when runing Bibtex and not Biber. Used to work that way. – Naglis Navakas Jan 16 '13 at 11:26

I had the same problem. Just check if after compilation .bcf file is generated or not.

If yes.......make sure biber.exe is present in c:/programfiles/Miketex2.9/miketex/bin folder

now go to command promt, cd to your folder & run the following command:

biber yourfile.bcf

Now check if .bbl file is generated & contains something. Finally compile your tex file with (whichever applicable) Xelatex or Pdflatex only.
