It is currently not known when Popocatepetl will erupt again. It's most recent eruption was on July 4th 2013. It is generally very hard to know when a volcano will erupt though scientists are finding ways to know when to expect one.
Volcanic eruptions are almost as difficult to predict as earthquakes. Any "prediction" would be little better than throwing darts at the calendar.
The last eruption of Hawaii's Hualālai volcano was either in the year 1800 or 1801. It is still active and the next eruption is predicted to occur sometime during this century.
Scientists predicted the eruption of Mount Pinatubo by monitoring various volcanic precursors, such as increased seismic activity, deformation of the volcano's surface, and gas emissions. These signs allowed researchers to forecast the eruption and issue warnings to evacuate nearby communities.
The volcano known as Popocatepetis has small eruptions all the time. The last two times were June 19, 2014 and June 3, 2014. This are small eruptions but the last major eruption took place in 1947.
The 1944 eruption was not predicted. People were too busy with WW II. The Americans had an Us Air Force base to the east of the mountain. It suffered some damage. The eruption was minor.

We generally cannot predict when a volcano will erupt next unless it is imminent and the volcano is well-monitored. Kilauea is erupting now, and has been erupting almost continuously for over 30 years with no end in sight.
Yes, there were signs leading up to the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull in 2010, such as increased seismic activity and swelling of the volcano. However, the exact timing and scale of the eruption were difficult to predict accurately.

Probably the biggest problem with earthquakes is that they can't be predicted.
Yes, the eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano in Montserrat in 1995 was preceded by signs of increased volcanic activity, including earthquakes, gas emissions, and ground deformation. Scientists had been monitoring the volcano and had issued warnings about the potential for an eruption.
The volcano known as Popocatepetis has small eruptions all the time. The last two times were June 19, 2014 and June 3, 2014. This are small eruptions but the last major eruption took place in 1947.
Popocatepetl is a strato volcano so it should be formed by ash and cinders.
