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

I had this problem too but after extensive testing this morning (multiple laptops, iPads, iPhones, ghost disk backups, etc.) it turned out to be my lighting cable. Strange because the cable works fine for many things but no longer works with my iPad. I got intermittent connections with iTunes that didn't last but for a few seconds. Soon as I used another lightening cable the issue went away.


Might be worth a try. Very frustrating I know. 😉
