OK two lenses that refuse to autofocus kind of points towards the camera being at fault. However I've been reading around and it seems that a common cause of this problem is that the lens is not properly attached. Remove the lens again, and then reattach the lens. However when reattaching do not hold the lens release button down, just keep twisting the lens until you hear it click into place.
I've noticed that when I hold the lens release button on my camera down I lose the autofocus options again. I suspect that the lens in this case may not be twisted far enough for the lens release to lock.
Good luck
I just tried what you said, it still doesn't work. My camera body and my 18-105 lens was working PERFECTLY fine until today when I put my 55-200mm lens in. It was then that I noticed the 55-200 didn't have the auto focus and originally, I thought it was the lens that had the issue. I then tried to switch back to my 18-105 and to my surprise, The autofocus isn't working now! I don't know what to do, I've tried cleaning it, attaching and reattaching it. I'm starting to panic!
