There was a patch that fell off, I bought some spray on stuff from Home Depot, it made a mess; I got P-O'd and now it looks like crap!

Go to a paint store like ICI or Sherwin Williams. Ask them for Pop Perfect. A great patch kit for popcorn ceilings. Should retail at about 19.99 US dollars

This is a job best done by a pro. If your ceiling has never been painted, you can scrape off all of the 'popcorn' with a putty knife which has a six inch wide blade. Lightly wet the ceiling as you go with water from a spray bottle. A note of warning. Years ago, 'popcorn' contained asbestos. If you don't know whether or not yours has asbestos, your best bet would be to buy an EPA approved respirator and paint the whole thing. This will entrap any asbestos and keep it from falling on you or your guests. Call a professional before you do any of the above. Good luck!

I have tried this with some success. Buy a small box of popcorn ceiling material at a home improivement store. Scrape off the bad stuff. Sprinkle some of the powdered material genrously on a piece of cardboard. Paint the bald spot with matching ceiling paint and before it dries, press the cardboard (with the popcorn material on top) up against the ceiling and hold for a few seconds. Carefully remove. The new popcorn should stick to the paint.

There is no known way to repair popcorn ceilings without removing and reapplying the entire ceiling. That stuff from Home Depot is worthless.

Very common,
Best thing to do it get a pro. If you insist on doing yourself buy popcorn in bag, mix with joint compound, and apply with sponge by patting it on. Use end of broom or brush to pat to consistancy.
You will probably have to add a small amount of water to joint compound.

Poly-filla makes a repair compound, all you do is dab it on with a sponge. This gives you control over the look because you are in control of how it looks. it takes a bit of time, but it is a good product to use.

That's a major pain. Scrape it, spackle it or totally replace all the wood.
