So I'm extremely new to TeX but I've been working with it the past week and i had come to referencing and hit a blank. I'm using a thesis template so there is a lot of code i may not know but i have had the same set of errors for ages..

This is what i keep getting when typesetting with bibtex: 

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2012)
The top-level auxiliary file: thesis.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: Acknowledgement/acknowledgement.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: Abstract/abstract.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: Introduction/introduction.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: Chapter1/chapter1.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: Conclusions/conclusions.aux
The style file: Classes/CUEDbiblio.bst
I couldn't open database file Refrences/ref.bib
---line 56 of file thesis.aux
 : \bibdata{Refrences/ref
 :                       }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no database files---while reading file thesis.aux
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "liucloud"
(There were 2 error messages)

this is what i have for the bib section: 

\bibliographystyle{Classes/CUEDbiblio}
\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
\bibliography{Refrences/ref}

any suggestions? All i want is to be able to use the Bibdesk DB & be able to cite everything...

Welcome to TeX.SX! Do you have a file named ref.bib in the Refrences subdirectory? Maybe it's just a typo: shouldn't it be References? – egreg Nov 3 '12 at 15:20
oh yeah :/ now its getting to the original errors i had earlier, bibtex is saying The style file: plain.bst Database file #1: References/ref.bib – Callum Bonnyman Nov 3 '12 at 15:35
If you have \bibliographystyle{Classes/CUEDbiblio} I can't see how you can get The style file: plain.bst. – egreg Nov 3 '12 at 16:19
ohi changed the style to plain just to try and fix it – Callum Bonnyman Nov 3 '12 at 20:45
And what are the errors you get now? – egreg Nov 3 '12 at 21:37
