There is a footprint error

Layout Footprints
1

I am new to kicad, i have designed a simple frequency multiplier and divider , but when I get into pcb editing the following errors occurs, I have checked the footprint library but there i find nothing . so I need some help

Processing symbol ‘SW3:Button_Switch_THT:SW_E-Switch_EG2219_DPDT_Angled’.
Processing symbol ‘U1:’.
Processing symbol ‘U2:’.
Processing symbol ‘U3:’.
Error: Cannot add U1 (no footprint assigned).
Error: Cannot add U2 (no footprint assigned).
Error: Cannot add U3 (no footprint assigned).

Go back to the schematic editor and assign footprints for U1, U2 and U3.

Do it either from the menu Tools > Assign Footprints or from the icon in the top bar:

If the chips are in one of the standard packages like SOIC or DIP, you can use the generic footprints in the KiCad foorprint library.

The OP is using 3rd party footprints and probably symbols
