Why won't my iphone 5 work with my PC?

I just got an iphone 5 today and when I plug it into my laptop to sync it, it doesn't even charge or pull up on my computer.nothing happens at all. I've tried two different cables and neither of them work. It works fine with the wall charger so its not the cord. How can I get it to sync?

Hold home and power button until the pc recognizes it

I hope you have installed itunes on your laptop.otherwise without it you can't sync your iphone.

Has someone solved this probelm as this is exactly what has happened to me! I already have itunes installed and want to put all my stuff on my new phone.
