My iPhone isn't connecting with my laptop?

I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad and a Toshiba laptop. Whenever I plug my iPad into my laptop using a USB cable my iPad connects to my laptop/iTunes and my iPad starts charging. However, whenever I use the same USB cable to connect my iPhone, nothing happens. My iPhone doesn't start charging and nothing appears on my laptop. Why is this? Is there a setting on my phone I need to change? Any help appreciated.

That sounds strange, I have the 5 and i don't recall having any problems or how to turn off the Auto play on the Iphone. Comb through the settings and look for something that has to do with connecting to the computer, if you have no luck i would contact apple and see what they say.

  • Will connecting my iPhone to new laptop delete everything? I just got a new laptop and want to connect my iPhone with it instead of my brothers one which I had been using. All the music on my iPhone is pretty old anyway so I wouldn't mind if that got deleted and I had to start again with music, but will things like contacts and photos and everything else be deleted too?
