Does the camera recognize the lens? Try re-seating the lens and making sure the contacts are clean. If it has a lens lock switch, make sure that is off.

yes, the camera recognises that there is a lens. but if you set the lens on auto, it just doesn't work

For anyone else who finds this thread, if there is a motor noise but the lens does not move to focus, it is most likely stripped gears in the focus motor. The lens can be opened with 2 screwdrivers and the focus motors purchased on eBay.
