I believe you have to have your device in Developer Mode with USB Debugging enabled before it will be detected by your PC. You also have to have ADB (The Android Device Bridge) running.

You can start USB Debugging on the phone by going to Settings > About Phone then tapping on the Build Number field seven times (Most devices will give a toast saying "Tap X many times to enable developer!". This unlocks the Developer Options menu on the main settings menu. In there you can Enable USB Debugging.

If you're using Android Studio, ADB should be running as long as Android Studio is. For Eclipse, you can start it manually by going to your Android SDK directory in command prompt. In the SDK folder, there is a sub-directory called "platform-tools". The ADB executable is in there. You should be able to start it with the command "adb start". Of course, this is assuming you haven't already added the platform-tools directory to your PATH environment variable.
