Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
I see from your post that your iPhone is making the charging sound periodically when connected to your Mac. This indicates there might be an issue with the USB cord or port on your Mac. To start troubleshooting this issue please follow the steps in the link below.
- See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.- Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
- If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
- Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps might interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.- Restart your computer.
- Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Check for software updates. You can download the latest version of iTunes from Apple. If you're using a Mac, you can check for updates to OS X and other software using the Mac App Store.
- If you're using a non-Apple computer, check for firmware updates for your computer or USB card from the manufacturer's website.
- If your iOS device displays the Connect to iTunes screen, force your device to restart, and then restore it.
- If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
- Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
