Check the bolt holes and bolts to inspect for damaged threads and repair or replace as needed. if this is good you may need to add Loctite to the threads of the bolts. use blue Loctite as this will allow removal later on if you need to remove the bolts.

Serious Serpentine Belt Issue!

Look at the pulleys with the belt off. Are they aligned? If so then one of the pulleys is bad. This would cause a belt to come off tract. If the balancer is out, check the bolt, tighten it back to where the balancer is back in line with the rest.

The fan on my belt run is loose where it connects to the motor did i lose a bearing...also are all the pulleys on the belt supposed to turn, or is there one that is fixed

You have a clutch fan on this vehicle. you need to make sure if it is the fan that is loose at the front of the pulley or the pulley is loose at the water pump. If it loose at the pump then replace the pump. And all of the pullies should turn, with the exception of the bottom center. this is the crankshaft pulley that drives the other ones. it will turn if you put a wrench on it

LOOKS LIKE MY 99MAXIMA CRANKSHAFT PULLEY BELT BROKE AND THE PULLEY IS KINDA HANGING OFF SOME, WHAT AM i LOOKING AT? JUST BELT AND IS PULLEY OK OR REPLACEMENT OF BOTH? PLEASE HELP DONT WANT TO GET RIPPED...

If it's the main pulley that connects to the crankshaft and drives the serpentine belt, it's called the dampener pulley.
If the dampener pulley has worked loose or separated, you'll need to replace any damaged components, possibly including the pulley, mounting bolt and even the crankshaft and front engine housing could have been damaged if the pulley continued to turn while it was loose.
It could be as simple as tightening the bolt or as severe as a major engine rebuild. A mechanic can't know until he takes a look at it.
