My iphone won't show up on itunes?

I have an iphone 5 and an acer laptop (windows 8) and when I plug my phone into my laptop I can see my photos so it has connected but my phone does not show up on itunes. My itunes is up to date and so is my phone and it randomly stopped connecting last week.
Please tell me how to fix it, thanks!
