Two things spring to mind. First check that you have a good USB cable. Second, MTP only works with Windows XP and above out of the box. I think it is possible to get it working with Linux or OSX but I have not tried. Also, I believe you need to have the latest version of media player installed for MTP to work.

You can try switching over from MTP to standard USB which worked in all but one case for me. To do this switch, go to settings then wireless and network -> usb utilities -> connect storage to pc. Note: do this first and then connect the cable!

Hope this helps...
