IPhone 5 will not connect to computer?

My iPhone 5 will not even acknowledge that it being plugged into my computer, it will not charge nor connect to my I tunes. // I have the most recent I tunes, and I'm running windows 7.

I'd try it again. Also try it on another machine if you can.

Try a different USB port. Try a different iPhone cable. If no joy take it to an Apple store or to your provider's store.

When you turn tethering on, you'll get a warning if Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are not enabled. This is OK. Either enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi or tap the "USB Only" button. You can always come back and tether via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi later if you want.

If you're using USB, now is the time to plug the cable into your computer (you can plug it in earlier, but that will make you wait longer, since it will include two syncs rather than one).

Your phone will sync with your computer unless you've set it not to automatically sync. If you have, sync it now. When the sync is complete, you'll be online.

If you're using Bluetooth, make sure it's turned on for both devices. When it is, set your computer to discover new Bluetooth devices and, when it finds your phone, pair them. Confirm the connection.

When the devices are paired, choose "Connect to Network" from your computer's Bluetooth utility (on the Mac, this is the Bluetooth menu in the top right corner) and you should be online. Sometimes there's a slight delay in connecting via Bluetooth, but be patient.

If you're using Wi-Fi, you'll connect to this Wi-Fi network just like any other, using the password provided.
