Why won't my iPhone 5 sync to iTunes?

When I plug my phone into my iMac, the phone isn't even recognized by iTunes that there's even a device connected. I have the latest software updates for my phone, computer, and iTunes but the computer never shows that my phone is connected. Any help please?

Hold home and power button until its recognized.

Reconnect it
