Howdy,

I assume your bib file has the name nameBibFile.bib. Those messages are typical for an incomplete set of runs of pdflatex.

After running bibtex you need to run pdflatex one or two more times for the bibliography to appear and the references to be resolved. The sequence is

pdflatex
bibtex
pdflatex
pdflatex

and it should work. Please let us know if it doesn't work.

PS: there is a way to automate this action but let's make sure that it works manually first.

Good Luck,
