Now I open in Calibre so I change / add metadata in the edit metadata window.

Save and go to Convert Books and choose ASW3 so I get epub mobi and ASW3 files after save.

Once that's done I open the saved Epub in Ibooks and see the title of the book is there same as before I saved and the author is not there either.

I see now I'm using an older version of Calibre I'm going to try to do this in the newest Calibre.
You could try not saving the book back into your calibre library since it will not be seen by calibre since it would not be in the database. I would save it to a temp location and then import the edited file to calibre.
