Fan in my macbook pro no longer works. what can be done?

sirs: the fan on my mackbook pro has recently quit working. I wish to restore it. How do I do this?
Thanks,

Word of warning. DO NOT USE THE MAC until the fans get replaced. Even with just one going, there will be be overheating and risk of damage to the Mac. Both fans should be replaced at the same time.

Press the Power button for about 10 seconds to shutdown the computer. Wait a couple of minutes then restart. If it restarts OK, then immediately repair the hard drive:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Yuu can try to reactivate your iSight camera by opening up iMessage.. navigate to Preferences/Audio Video,and then click on Camera. IT shoudl be grayed-out if you only have one camera hooked up to your machine. If you have an external camera, then disconnect it from your machine.

One of the key on my macbook pro is not working properly, can it be fixed by a cleaning spray or something. there is lot of dust in where I live and thought that might be the culprit. thanks Jason

Don't use any cleaning spray. Wipe with a moist but not wet microfiber cloth.

Look into iKlear Polish Cleaning. Do a Google search for others. Or call an Apple Store or an AASP & ask for their recommendations as they are "Apple" professionals and should know the best & better products.

Brushes in Photoshop CS6 stop working, what can be done?

Seems every day I am resetting my brushes in PS CS6 by shutting down the program and restarting it while holding the ctrl+alt+shift keys.
I work at a school so we are networked and I have a thoery that it may be a user profile setting for when the user logs onto the network only because this doesn't happen on my personal computer which has no network to log onto.
Sometimes I have to reset the brushes several times to get it working. And even after I do that after a few hours I may need to do it again, if the program was left on. My computer is hard wired to the network so it's not a wireless issue.
Anybody else having these issues? And what can be done about it?

Nothing. The iTunes Match service does not respect the checked/unchecked state of a song. ALL music is scanned and made available in the cloud.

My Macbook Pro no longer working with my Epson GT S50...HELP

I have been using the epson gt s50 scanner for 2 yrs now. I upgraded my MacBook Pro to MT Lion OS X 10.8.2 a few months ago (Big mistake-comuter is now slower than my crappy Dell work computer). Anyways, I used my scanner this morning without any difficulties but now my computer and scanner stop working together. My Macbook recognizes the scanner and it allows me to scan the document but once the scan is complete it is not appearing in the folder that it should be in and the image of the document is also not appearing on the screen as it usually does. I looked for the document elsewhere in my computer just in case I missplaced my folder but that is not the case. I tried to reinstall the scanner disk as directed by the scanners manual with no luck...This is the message I received from my Mac "You can’t open the application “Epson” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I dont understand how I can use this scanner for 2 yrs, majority of the day yesterday and approx 30 minutes this morning and then all of a sudden they are no longer compatible.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I AM TOTALLY ILLITERATE WHEN SPEAKING TO ME IN COMPUTER LINGO...SO PLEASE KEEP THE TERMINOLOGY SIMPLE FOR ME. LOL!
Thanks again!

"I am not getting the error message "You..."
That driver is the latest and dated Dec. 11, 2012.
Csound1 she said, "I am not getting..."
That's because it is not a PPC application.
Amanda,
The scanner is supported with thar driver. Contact Epso support. They may have a work around for you.

New Macbook Pro Running Slow. What can I do?

Hey there! I purchased a 15'' Macbook Pro about two months ago. I tried running Starcraft II on it, and it performed great.
Then, while I was playing, it started running -really- well. I had maxed out all the settings, and somehow the framerate was a constant 90-100. Now if I do this I get about 10 frame rate or less, maybe. If I run on even the lowest settings I can't get higher than 65 or so.
I know it's not related to an SMC reset or anything like that. I think there must be some setting on the mac that I'd enabled to cause the game to run so well. It's really a great machine- i7 core processor, 8 gigs of ram, a gig of video memory- and it can barely run this game at all, now. This surprises me because my friend's older macbook, which doesn't even have a graphics card, runs the game better than mine does. I think he's on an i5 or i3 processor, with 256 MBs of video memory on an Nvidia card. I'm on an ATI card.
I've tried reinstalling Lion OSx, I've tried going into Bootcamp, and I've tried all the SMC reset tricks and Disk Repair tricks out there; I've also reinstalled and repaired the game. Another problem is that no drivers seem to work for my graphics card in Windows 7; they all say they're not compatable. Actually, if I run a program called AT Monitor, in OSx, I see that apparently my GPU usage is "0". Does this make sense to anybody?
And then, if I run my video card in Windows 7, for some reason my computer throttles it to 100hz/150hz.
Finally, the charger seems to be running really hot, like really hot. I started noticing the heat in the battery/charger around when the computer started not working well.
I would really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

Third-party system modifications are a common cause of instability and poor performance. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
Launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the line of text below into the window, and press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Next, do the same thing with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
That's one line, not two. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Next, this command:
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Again, one line. Finally, one more:
ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address will appear in the output of the above command. Change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal.

The track pad on my MacBook Pro is going crazy what can I do?

Yesterday I tried using my Mac book pro when I noticed that my track pad wasn't working it would either move really slow or not at all and then when it does move it goes all crazy and starts moving or clicking things with out me doing anything what can I do two days ago it was working fine and I have tried cleaning the track pad

The same happend to me, you need to call applecare or take it to the genius bar to have the trackpad swapped out. I hope you have applecare becuase the unibody macbooks will need the whole bottom chassis replacing which can be pricey.
Just a quick fix (it will only work for around 30 mins each time) untill you can take it in. Press all four corners of the trackpad down hard (without breaking it) then let go. Your trackpad should work for a short while.

On Mountain Lion, when switching from any app. to finder, when getting to finder I could see my desktop, it no longer works what Have I done?

Well, I guess I wrote everything in the question.
But to repeat myself, when I first got Mountain Lion I was so sooth to see that when I was switching to finder from any other application (using the cmd+tabs buttons) I could see instantly my desktop meaning: the screen without any other windows, the desktop!! With the wall picture and the few folders lingering there.
But for some reason, it doesn't do it anymore...
Was it only an short appercu... only to make me hope that they finally... humm... some frustration with the ...

My macbook pro runs slow. What can i do ?

After i went on a streaming website, my macbook pro has started to run slow over night and after 1 or 2 hours using the internet didn't let me acess the internet. My intenet connexion is good. but safari says that he cant find the servor for the website and it does it with any kind ob websit or it just doesnt open the page, it leaves it blank . i tried to clean it, no results and i checked for virus, no results either.
has been already happened to someone else ?

You should post in the Snow Leopard or Safari forum area especially if your problem appears in no other browsers. Your problems have nothing to do with a MBP. It's software related.

My mac books sound is no longer working what can I do to fix it?

I was playing a game and when I unplugged my head phones just stopped working.

Most likely you flipped the micro switch located inside of the headphone port. Check if the light inside there is on, it should be red. if it is red stick a toothpick inside of it and gently wiggle it around until the light turns off or in
[ system preferences > sound > output ] the internal speakers pop up.
if the light is not on go to [ system preferences > sound > output ] and select the internal speakers. Make sure you volume is set to a reasonable ammount and anything you are trying to listen to has the program volume set to a reasonable ammount.
