if by popped you mean broke, snapped, etc you just go out and buy a new pack of strings. if theyve been on it for a while change them all but if theyre not too old like 2-4 weeks (reallydepends on preference) just change the one. and if you need instructions to change the string just google it or www.ultimate-guitar.com has lots of lessons n stuff of tha tnature.

ok just unwind the string from the neck and pull it throught the thing that holds the strings than get a new string and put it throuht the hole were all the other strings are and then throuhgt the tunner there is a sertan way to trun the tunner but i cant remember.

ok unwind the strings with the tuners at the end of the neck, then kinda push them through the trem, down through the body, then get new strings and replace, the package that the strings come in should have instructions but its actually really really easy to do you wont have trouble with it

one string broke, and it just HAD to be the high E string.. it just snapped while i was playing, whiplashed my hand, hurt like crazy, went out, bought a new one, stuck it thru the back, pulled it across, stuck it thru the lil hole thingy on the knob, and i looked it up online, and it said: "wind the knob" so i did, but then it broke... so now i'm super pissed

you probably didnt give enough string to be wound. Make sure your hand (at least) can fit between the string and neck, then wind it onto the tunning pegs.

the string broke the second time?

what you want to do is put it in nice and easy, put it through the hole near the knob, bend it so itll stay, wind it easily until its in tune

mebe pre-stretch the string? Chances are you winded it too much too fast and snapped it.
