continuous beeping sound when plugged into iMac

When back up my iPad to my iMac, I get a continuous beeping sound showing charging/not charging. Why is this happening? It does not do it while plugged into the wall. Only when plugged into iMac. iTunes not recognizing device.

iPad, iOS 9.2.1, null

Way late for your issue (I hope), but I was having this issue with my iPhone SE and my (mid 2013) MacBook Air. I have the latest iOS installed (11.0.2), as well as latest macOS (10.13) and latest iTunes (12.7.0.166). The phone repeatedly dinged and would not stop. Tried various cables, etc. No luck. I turned off iCloud on the phone; still dinging.


Finally, I put the phone in Airplane Mode, and it connected fine to my Mac and iTunes -- first time -- no issues.


Weird and a PITA. Hopefully Apple fixes this in an upcoming update.


HTH someone.
