Re: biber problems

Thanks for helping Ulrike, i think you replied to me on stack i had put links but here are the files i am working with. so my code is below, i have tried to use addbibresource instead of bibliography and didnt help, i got minimal example from another persons question who worked with my code a bit and this works to the person Bernard but not on my machine, in larger examples it will compile everything but all i get are the bib keys instead of the cites. attached are the tex, bib, log, aux, bcf and blg files. the bbl file is empty.

\documentclass [12pt]{article} % this must go first, there are many different classes
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage [american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}% recommended in output (biblatex)
\usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}

\addbibresource{bobtest.bib}

\begin{document}

\parencite{Hox2010}

\printbibliography

\end{document} 

the bib file is.

@book{Hox2010,
address = {New York},
author = {Hox, Joop J.},
edition = {2},
file = {:C$\backslash$:/Users/Joe/Misc/Mendeley PDFs/Multilevel Analysis Techniques and Applications.pdf:pdf},
isbn = {1848728468},
keywords = {Linear Models},
mendeley-tags = {Linear Models},
pages = {392},
publisher = {Routledge Academic},
title = {{Multilevel Analysis: Techniques and Applications, Second Edition}},
year = {2010}
}

Somewhere in the description of the miktex-biber package "biblatex
1.5" is mentioned. But this is simply an typo. The current biber in
32bit-Miktex (no idea if biber is now in 64bit-miktex) is 1.8. and
biblatex is 2.8. and it if you got all updates (as user and as
admin) it should work fine out of the box. 

Make a minimal example that demonstrates your problem and show the
log-file and the blg-file.
