It's a big job, but you can use a putty knife to get the loose paint off then 'rough sand' the rest of the ceiling and paint. Be sure the ceiling is even and if there are any dents from the paint peeling then you'll have to plaster those first, then 'rough sand.'

If the surface of the wall is drywall made from gypsum and is not wet, simply remove the peeled paint to a point that the paint does not peel easily. Primer then repaint. If it appears that the drywall has been wet and there may be significant damage to the wall simply replace the spot and primer and paint. If the damage is not to bad then you should be able to go over the affected area with joint compound sand smooth then primer and paint.

Possibly because the ceiling wasn't properly prepped before being painted the last time.

Had wallpaper on the bathroom walls I removed the wall paper now I'm wanting to paint the wall what kind of primer should I use?

You should carefully inspect the wall board for any damage. If the paper "skin" of the wall board has peeled off with the wall paper, you will have to patch that before you can paint. Otherwise, I would recommend a good quality latex primer.

Why would new paint peel off the wall painted a room in my house and after it was dry the new and old paint peeled all the way to the drywall?

You have a problem with the drywall. It is not a problem with the paint. Most likely it is moisture or some kind of contamination on the wall that is pulling it off the drywall. Another issue to consider is if you have too many coats on the wall the weight of all the coats of paint can cause stress and pull everything off. If the paint is not peeling everywhere and is just peeling in certain places the paint did not fail. (Paint does not choose where it will peel and where it will adhere).
