repeat chiming when iPhone since attempted with USB

I recently charged a bluetooth speaker with switch 'on' through my macbook air USB port. After that, whenever I try to sync my iPhone 6, I get repeated chiming when phone connected to USB port. What is wrong? How do I fix it?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), when trying to sync, iPhone 6 chime

Hi kathrynthecnm,

I understand you are hearing a chime on your iPhone when you plug it into the USB port of your MacBook Air. Here are some things to try to troubleshoot this:

Restart your MacBook Air.
Charge your iPhone using an electrical wall outlet.
Try a different USB port on your Mac.
Try a different cable for your iPhone (preferably the lightning cable that came with it).
Update iTunes to the latest version of the software.

Let us know if the issue still persists after trying these steps.
