I can get cardio entered just fine to my daily activity but when I try to put in strength exercises such as weight training, nothing that I enter shows up in the over calorie count. After a 40 minute workout it has to count for something?!?!?!?!!?

Look under cardio. There is a weight training option that will add in calories.0

I looked on both my phone and on my computer and I am just not sure what I am looking for.

Add "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" to Cardiovascular to get estimated Calories burned added to your Diary. Please note that the Calories burned for Cardiovascular exercises provided by MFP are based on published metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs), which are estimates for a general population and may differ for you as an individual. If desired, add individual strength training exercises, such as "Biceps Curl," to Strength Training to have a log of sets, reps, and weights as individual exercises.
Please see these articles, and search for other helpful articles on the MFP Help pages...
