I'm searching for a solution of my problem for days:

I use biblax with style apa. There is an option for the case if there are more than one references of ONE author in the same year. Than a letter is inserted after the year. My problem is that there is a letter inserted not only if the references are of the same author but only in the same year regardless of the authors.

My document:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside]{report}

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}                                 %

%\usepackage{fancyhdr}
%\usepackage{hyperref} 
\usepackage{csquotes} 
\usepackage[ style=apa,
            url=false,
            doi=false,
            isbn=false,
            backend=biber,
            hyperref=false,
            eprint=false,
            babel=other
]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{C:/Users/Konsi/Documents/Studium/test.bib}  %ort der bib    %

%\bibliography{C:/Users/Konsi/Documents/Studium/test.bib}   %ort der bib    %
\DeclareLanguageMapping{german}{german-apa}
\DefineBibliographyStrings{german}{andothers={et\ al\adddot}} 



\begin{document}

\parencite{Billard2001}\\
\parencite{Wolpert2001487}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

Than the first problem I have: if I compile this the first time with latex->biber->latex->latex than the .bbl file is not built. Therefor I changed the style to authoryear, latex->biber->latex->latex, .bbl file is built. I changed the style back to apa, everthing is apa conform, except the letters after the years.

My .bib is:

}

Could anyone please help me? The second problem is caused by the first maybe, but if so, how can I compile with style=apa?

Thanks a lot!

Edit: Used versions are (I'm not really sure, what is useful and what not): The apa.dbx is missing. is this maybe a problem? I installed the biblatex-apa package with the MiKTeX 2.9 Package Manager.
