Please list what lens you are using.
Is the switch on AF mode on the lens body?
What focus mode are you in?

Was it autofocusing before and now it doesn't? Or it was always like that?

More info will get you quicker and useful help

When I asked what autofocus, I meant "One-shot, Al Focus, Al Servo"
Which one are you in?

If you are in Al Servo for example, the camera will not beep when the autofocus achieved. And also the green AF confirmation dot inside the view finder won't show up.

Make sure your AF selection is set to ONE SHOT and try again. If you don't hear a beep and/or see the AF confrmation dot, then I would say try another lens and see what happens. If everything is okay for another lens, then you might have an issue with your lens' autofocus function.

Maybe bring it to the store where you bought it from and have them look at it? I'm also thinking its a setting thing, but without playing with the actual camera, hard to tell

try cleaning the contacts of the lens and the camera with a pencil eraser. that might be the problem.

Try using a fresh battery (and fresh batteries in the flash, if you are using a hot-shoe flash)
