Hi willi65,the best way to fix nail pops is to reset the nail useing a nail set,then put a drywall screw on top and bottom of the nail.When i say on top and bottom just screw the drywall screw about 1/4" or so from the nail.That will take the weight of the drywall and the nail wont pop out again.After you screw the drywall screw in,just cover the heads with joint compound.
