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.

If this is the key with the period and the > symbol above it, nothing happens.

By @Grundoon Groundhog

The disclosure triangle:

(Same as the one you use to expand/collapse folder contents in the Finder, for example).

If the error happens again, click it - this will reveal the actual errors.

OK I never knew what that symbol was called. I tried list view but it doesn't appear next to the document. Is there a key I should be using? Or is there no command or menu item to simply find the error from within the document when it is open? That would make life so much simpler.
