im having a few issues with converting and uploading a few of my epub books, i have narrowed it down to a couple of metadata errors, is there anybody here who can help with the editing. thank you in advance.

@sindydoll1 - please provide details of the errors

But, as a preliminary 'test' try running the EPUB through the optional Modify plugin with the Remove non dc: metadata elements option checked - that will strip out any custom metadata from the EPUB.

The errors are as follows
Publisher value missing
The unique-identifier ‘uuid_id’ was not found

If you run the Debug in the Editor (NOT the MDE), it offers solutions for each selected error on the right side.
The UUID one offers to make one for you

The Publisher one needs you to add that. (I think using Polish from the Main GUI will embed ALL The metadata current).
I think that is a Hand edit of the OPF (Sigil has a Metadata Tool, F8)

Debug? Sorry, I haven’t used this program (calibre) long. Where abouts is the debug button?

The metadata editor (in Sigil) suggests that the dc: publisher is filled in.
I’m a little confused by all this, all the other books I’ve done, were fine. All of sudden I’m experiencing error after error.
Thank-you for your assistance

Just tried again and the error reads
The unique-identifier ‘uuid_id’ was not found

Thank you in advance for any assistance
