Disconnect the phone's USB cable, then reconnect it. Apparently, the problem where a Nexus 5 wont connect to a PC can be caused by the Windows 8.1 update, which installs inconsistent drivers (like Acers or HPs own versions etc) when you plug the Nexus 5 for the first time.Enable debugging on the phone in Settings/Applications/Development.Select it and click the Install Selected button If it isn't, it should be under Available Packages.
