Iphone won't connect to itunes? - 1

My laptop broke a while ago so i haven't been able to download music on my iphone. I recently got a new laptop and just downloaded itunes and put some music on it. I plugged my phone in the computer and it charges but when i open up itunes it doesn't say its connected on the side bar. I've tried to shut the computer down and turn off the computer but nothing is working.

You have to use the other USB slot. I had that issue and used a different USB slot and it worked.
