Why won't my iphone 5 connect to my computer? - 1

I tried to sync it but nothing would come up. I tried both my desktop and laptop and got nothing.

When I use my wall charger it works perfectly.

Also when I sync my ipod to either of my computers it works and syncs perfectly. What is going on with my iphone?

You may try these steps.
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPhone. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPhone.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPhone and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job

Or should I just call sprint or apple? Please help I have to use my phone a lot in places that don't have Wi-Fi.
