Error message about missiing urls

I made the mistake of synching to iCloud and ended up losing everything. With the help of an Apple support person I clawed it back. Now when I try to export my InDesign document I get the attached messages. I saw that some images were missing, and replaced them.  No problems detectable in the Links panel, no silhouettes of missing art. No idea where the missing URLs are. Do I have to reflow all the text and remake the hundreds of corrections I've already made? Is there any way to identify the problems? I really do not want to relink to the Cloud which has caused nothing but problems. The versions there are inaccurate now anyway.

Going through the document I found many images were in silhouette or partially grayed out. I fixed all those links and still had the error message. there were no hyperlinks. Restarting seems to have solved the problem.

It has never occurred before. As far as I know my MAC has given full access to InDesign. Thanks for the suggestions.

In addition to providing us with more details on the error as asked by @leo.r, you could check the following things

  • Check the links panel and see if all the links are found and the status is ok for all of them
  • Check the hyperlinks panel to see all is well and the links are accessible
  • If you are on a MAC see if you have provided full disk access to InDesign

First, please expand the error: what the actual errors are?

The screenshots were and are attached. This is what happened when I tried to save a PDF. Some of the problems were graphics which I tracked down. I  shut the computer down and restarted and the problem was apparently solved. I'm still curious as to why it happened.
