Computer charges iphone but doesn't recognize it?

I just got a new computer and installed iTunes, the latest version. I wanted to sync some photos, so I connected my iphone 4s to the computer and all it does is charge it. I opened iTunes and it acts as if nothing is plugged in and the device doesn't show up on when I look in Computer on the start menu.

I thought it was my phone or the cable, but it works totally fine on my mom's computer. What's wrong with this one?

Is there any other ways to track an iphone without icloud?

So about two months ago, i lost my brand new iphone 5s (or it was stolen) in the gym at school. I just got it for christmas this year. I looked everywhere i possibly could and it was never found & still isn't. I tried to track it at home but i couldnt without my icloud being set up. So me, not knowing this would effect anything. I got onto my moms iphone, and logged into my apple id on her phone, then set up my icloud from her phone. Once i was done i tried to track it again and it said it was here at the house (cause i was logged onto moms iphone) So that was out of the question. My dad went to verizon and the guy gave us a number to call to track it, so well called and the lady told us there was nothing they could do about it if i logged out of my apple id on my iphone. So That was out of the question too. Is there any other way I or verzon can track my Iphone with out having to use icloud? Or any suggestions on what i should do. If not, if i bought a new iphone 5s would there be any way to transfer all my photos, videos, notes, apps. Etc. From my old phone onto the new one? Anything will help.

Wanting to find a better alternative than an iPod/iPhone?

My friend suggested to me that I could get a non-contracted Android phone to use for music, video recording/taking pictures, and going on the internet purposes. I find that the iphone and ipod go bad quickly, battery dies quicker over time, iOS and apps run slow too. Is there an Android phone there I could get that has decent megapixel quality, can go on apps like Facebook, Youtube and TextPlus, and can store/play music?

Wouldn't be looking for a massive sized phone like the new Galaxy phones, something along the size of just an iPod 4th gen as it's a convenient size AND one that can take a Lifeproof or Otterbox case to protect it.
