BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Strange problem with BibTeX with TeXShop.

[dkaplan]

Greetings all. I have been trying to format my references for a book. I am receiving the following error message:
---
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (TeX Live 2009)
The top-level auxiliary file: Bayes book first draft.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file Bayes book first draft.aux
(There was 1 error message)
----

Other documents such as articles are not having any problem. Here is the preamble:

\documentclass [12pt] {book}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\raggedbottom
\newcommand{\mb}[1]{\mbox{\boldmath $\bf#1$}}
\newcommand{\mbi}[1]{\mbox{\mathit{\boldmath $\bf#1$}}}
\newcommand{\bibnodot}[1]{} \DeclareSymbolFont{symbolsC}{U}{txsyc}{m}{n}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\boxright}{\mathrel}{symbolsC}{128}
\numberwithin{equation}{chapter}
\nopagebreak[4]

Note that apacite is loaded, and I am calling in the correct bibtex file using \bibliography{}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most likely even with the apacite package (.sty file) loaded, you should still load the apacite bibliography style (.bst file):

Put

\bibliographystyle{apacite}

...or perhaps...
\bibliographystyle{apacitex}

somewhere before the \bibliography command.

Source code is formatted by means of the code environment. This keeps a post clear and legible (see Board Rules).

Your code snippet is absolutely useless [1]. There is no hint for a \cite command. Note that you have to run BibTeX and twice again (pdf)latex to get the references right. Details can be read in the BibTeX manual.
