i you popped the tyre itself then i think its rather hopeless, you can probably rin it with a tube until you can replace it [depending on the rims i beleive] or else try to patch the tyre, which in my experience is a waste of time.

Did you just remove the tire or does it have a hole in it? If you just need to pump it back up, try to get the tire spread as wide as possible so it will seat. Maybe get someone to help you hold it while you pump it. If you have access to an air compressor, it's much easier to do. But a pump will work, I've done it. Have someone push down on the tire to spread it while you pump it. Once it starts taking air, it should go easily.
If you have a hole in it, be sure to scrape the area around the hole well before patching.

Yes, You just have to form a seal so it will take air. It's just leaking out between the tire and the rim.

Just use a regular patch, or order some sealant from Stan. www.notubes.com is the fluid I run regularly in my tires. If you can't get the tire to seat just go to a gas station and fill it there. Be careful not to put too much pressure in it at the gas station though.
