Q: iPod Classic recognized by iTunes but won't sync
I just bought a refurbished iPod Classic (6th Gen. 160GB). The iPod looks and functions as if it were brand new. I connected the iPod to my laptop and iTunes recognizes it. However, when I try syncing the iPod, nothing happens. The load bar that would say "Beginning Sync" appears for a split second, then goes away, and I get the prompt saying "iPod sync is Complete." However, nothing synced. I restored the setting on the iPod and even made sure I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes, to no luck. My computer is and has been authorized for iTunes and I even changed the name of my iPod in iTunes, as it was the same name of my old iPod, to see if it made any difference. Not sure what to do here, especially since Classics are discontinued.

Take a look at Corrupt iPod Classic just to rule out any obvious issues with the hard drive.
Devices (apart from iPhones) can be manually manged with multiple libraries, but sync with one. An iTunes library can sync with multiple devices, each having their own selection of synced content. You do have to choose what is going to be synced.
