I need assistance with exporting an ID file to PDF. I keep getting an alert stating "Failed to Export the PDF file" but no explanation of why. I am using photos that have previously been used on other documents. nothing has changed other that the update. i saw below someone suggested going back to an earlier version, but that is not working either. baically in a panic and do not know what to do.

First thing to do is isolate the issue by exporting sections of the document and see if this passes or fails. You may need to export page by page to isolate issue. Once isolated, try removing graphics, or text, or elements one by one and export and see. If you can find the culprit, report back with cause. There are a lot of things that will prevent Indesign from exporting a PDF, so it is helpful if you can determine.

The easier way to find problematic page - instead of exporting page by page - is to automaticaly export whole document as separate pages:
Page after last sucessfully exported page is the problematic page.
Then like you've said - deleting objects one by one and exporting this page again.

Well actually first thing to do is let us know version of ID, platform, export settings, etc.
