[OS X TeX] Beamer Bibliograph problem

[Samuel Harry Cox, Jr.]

Thank you for your comments( below). Here is the revision based on your suggestions. The corrected version has the same error.  I am also attaching the bib file (unifiedtest) with the single cited source.

\documentclass{beamer}
%\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[babel]{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=alphabetic]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{unifiedtest.bib}
%settings
\mode<presentation>{%set beamer mode
    \usetheme{Warsaw}
}
%document
\begin{document}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{frame}
 In frame citation:   \cite{cairns06}
\end{frame}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{frame}
    \printbibliography
\end{frame}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\end{document}

Howdy,

No need to copy so many times.

Could you let use have a `unified.bib' file with, at least, that reference for testing purposes. Did you actually process using biber rather than bibtex as required, by default, biblatex? Also, you don't use \bibliography{unified} with biblatex but rather \addbibresource{unified.bib} (also note the extension as part of the argument).

Good Luck,
