How to see when ipod was last synced from the pc

I think my iPod is either lost/stolen and the only way to find out for sure is to see when my iPod was last synced on my computer. how do you find out the time that this happened?

Welcome to the discussions,
every time you sync a backup is created. You can find the list of stored backups in iTunes/Settings/Devices. Hover over the name of the device and you'll see the serial number of the device and right next to the backup the date it took place.
But you can't find out if your ipod has been synced on another computer using your PC.

HT5622 can I check when my daughters ipod was last synced/restored?

My daughter has lost her ipod touch, she recently had to re install her device as the password had been locked by her younger sister. Can I check when she did this so that I know when to start retracing our steps?

You can see when the iPod was last synced with iTunes. Go to Settings --> General --> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.
Then you can see when the iPod was last synced. (and probably restored)

My iPod was last synced on a Mac which was stolen. How can I save the music currently on it so when I use my new windows computer I won't lose everything?

I don't have access to any Mac computers, so I don't have that option at all. And I'm not sure where any of my music was stored other than my iPod....it was possibly on another portable hard drive we still have so I might be okay, but I can't guarantee that.
Is there any way to save the music that's already on there, or is it going to automatically reset itself when I try to plug it in?
I have an older model iPod, if that makes a difference...can't remember exactly which but it's probably 2nd or 3rd gen.

Is there any way to save the music that's already on there
Yes.
Launch iTunes on the new computer.
From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Connect the iPod to the P/C.
Now click File / Transfer Purchases From...
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do i find where an ipod was last synced?

the ipod was synced without my permission. I now need to find who put inappropriate songs on my ipod.

There is not way to find that out other than asking or matching the songs to computers.

My 160gb ipod classic messed up today when I was ejecting it from the computer and now when I turn it on a red x comes up telling me to go to support. It also is making a weird clicking noise... Any help?????

Hi! my ipod broke today after I tried to sync it. There is a red error message on the screen and it makes an obnoxious clicking. Any help??

i've had this same problem on my 30 gig 5th generation. about a year ago, i had the same problem, called Apple support, they wanted me to pay about $100 to fix it with no guarantee that it would work. I left it alone for a long time (months), charged it up again, clicked it on and it worked. Just a few days ago, I got the clicking sound again. I don't recommend this but, after pushing the menu and center buttons simultaneously and trying to charge the Ipod, I finally whacked it between my hands a few times and it stopped clicking. I charged it, then plugged it in to my computer. I got an error message "1437", which they recommend restoring the IPod to the factory settings. This wiped out all the stuff stored on my device. Now, I have to figure out how to get the stuff back on and avert the 1437 error message.

HT1430 my daughter's ipod has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts. The ipod was not synced to a computer. How can we get it started?

My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
Metadata is the info on what the data IS.
Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess.
This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data. One isnt enough, neither is two really.
see here, and dont let that happen again>

Was that your only copy of your priceless data? Just that one external HD?

I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either

To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

How do I view a list of software and when it was last used?

I'm new to Apple and on Windows you could see a list of software on your pc and when it was last used - that helped me delete unused stuff but I can't find the same function on my Macbook Pro?

I've found a way through Terminal for AFP and Mail:

I recently had to replace my phone. And when I backed it up from the last back up, no all apps or songs that I have purchased on my phone were sinc-d to my computer, how do I get them back

I recently had to get a new phone due to damage. But when I backed it up from the last back up which was a week ago, it didn't put any apps or songs that I purchased on my phone during the last week. How do I get those back?

Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

I have recently copied my iTunes to a new computer using the instructions from Apple site, via an external drive. My iPod will not sync on the new computer. The option to sync automatically is greyed out and it won't let me set it. How do I resolve?

I have recently installed iTunes on a new Windows 8 laptop and copied from my old XP system using an external drive. This all went ok. The problem is that i can't get my iPod classic to sync on the new laptop. I did a factory reset and re-install. It still won't sync. When I hit the 'sync' icon it does nothing. In the Options screen the option to automatically sync is greyed out and doesn't allow me to enter anything in the box. How can i resolve this?

You need iTunes on the computer. There is no iTunes for your phone. See:

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

When I updated the software on my ipod 4 touch, many podcasts were erased. When I synced the ipod, they were erased from the ipod also. The current itunes does not allow me to go back to these dates (a few months) and re-download? Can I? and prevent this?

When I upgraded the software on my ipod touch4, many podcasts were deleted from itunes. Of course, when I synced the ipod, they were deleted from the ipod as well. Apparently the current version of itunes will not let me go back to these earlier episodes (just a few months), in a podcast that I have been subscribed to, and re-download them. Is there a way to do that? and, how can I prevent this from happening again?

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

My iPod cannot be synced because the required file could not be found. How do I fix this problem?

Peace. My name is Free. Thanks in advance for any help u can offer. My iPod cannot be synced because the required file could not be found. How do I fix this problem?

Hi antiklady,
I see that you may be having an issue with compatibility of iTunes when connecting your iOS device. This sort of issue can arise if you have two versions of iTunes installed on your computer, which I feel may be the case. Here is an article that can tell you how to identify the version of iTunes that you have open:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201521
If the version of iTunes that is opened is not the version you are required to use for the iOS device in question, try searching through your computer or applications folder to see if there may be two versions of iTunes installed on your computer. Then, uninstall the version that is incompatible using these steps:
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
