is one a pc and the other a mac? i had this problem too because i transfer music on my nano btwn my work pc and my mac at home. anyway, a hard reset of the ipod should help and it wont delete the music on your ipod. hold the center key and the menu key down until the screen goes black and you see the apple logo apple come up. this should help and your laptop should recognize the device.
 
...read? I've always used my ipod (nano 4th gen) with my laptop. today i tried to sync it, but my computer wouldn't recognize it. itunes doesn't open, its not a drive in my computer, and there is not message on the ipod. I tried plugging other things in the same USB port, and they worked. I also tried plugging the ipod into my home computer, and it worked. Any ideas?
 
okay the SAME thing happened to me. look on the ipod plug-in thing. it MIGHT say power only on it where it connects to the ipod (the longer, narrower end), meaning it only restores the battery, but doesnt transfer music
my cord that did that was black from walmart. try buying the white cord if you have the black one
hope i helped
