Q: iPhone 6 bleeping continuously when plugged into iMac

Around 50% of the times I plug my iPhone 6 into my iMac to charge, the bleeping sound you hear when initially plugging it in repeats continuously until you unplug it again. It will do this time after time until eventually you plug it in and it bleeps once and charges as expected. I have no idea why it does this?! I am using the original lightning cable. Can anyone explain what the issue is?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

Howdy feathers7,

The fact that your iPhone produces the 'connected' alert repeatedly indicates that there may be an issue with the USB connection to your iMac. The article linked below details a number of steps that can help stabilize your iPhone's connection to your Mac.

Start by examining the phone's charging port with a strong light and a magnifier. Check for lint or other debris that may have gotten lodged in the port. A small obstruction could be causing an intermittent connection.
