Can iPhone charging chime be turned off?

I am using a Kensington 3-Port USB Pocket Hub and iPhone Sync station with a 2013 iMac. It is a powered hub and charges the iPhone while minimising use of precious USB3 ports on the back of the iMac (I have a printer, keyboard and Blu-ray burner also attached).
The only unsatisfactory thing is that the iPhone seems to randomly chime as though it has just been connected to a charging cable. My guess is that this is something to do with the iMac polling the USB hub, even while it is sleeping.
Apart from muting all sounds, is there a way to turn off or quieten the charging chime?

There's something in the TOS of this site that prevents supplying an answer to this annoyance? Jeez, I bought this device to put my toe in the Apple pond, and it has some good points, but also putting up with some real crap. The "Big Brother" ad was directed at the wrong target.
You're issue is completely different than that of the original poster. You may want to start your own thread. However, what I can tell you is that, if you're iPad is making that noise when it is not plugged in, it may well be a hardware issue.  However, have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you checked the charging port for debris?

    When it turns off charge for 1 minute, then unplug and turn it back on. If you do this a few times it will reach 0%. Then charge it for 4 hours with the wall adapter. This should recalibrate the gauge. If it doesn't it probably means you need a new battery.

  • IPhone 4 recharges if turned OFF but wont charging if ON

    The 1st tragedy was my Dock Connector & Loud Speaker Buzzer were burnt bcoz of overnite charging. 1st scenario was, I slept over my iPhone on my bed. My phone slips under my body while im sleeping along the night & i guess is overheats along d nite. On the next morning i smells burnt toxic gas & i realized that my dock charger cable were merely MELTED, same goes to my Dock Connector. But thank God that my phone was 100% charged and still ON. After that I tried to recharge it again just to test it, & its NOT CHARGING & my iTunes dont detects my phone. So then, that was d last 100% battery dat i used my phone b4 my phone went DEAD.
    After dat, i replaced d damaged Dock Connector & Loud Speaker Buzzer coz i assumed dat my phone was fine other than these 2 damaged parts. Since my battery was 0% & d phone was OFF, so I tried to recharge it using d newly installed parts, and IT CHARGES!
    BUT! after 4-5% of charging, usually most iPhones will turn ON automatically and it STOP CHARGING! and my phone starts to GETS OVERHEAT on d motherboard side! It seems that my iPhone ONLY CHARGING IN TURNED OFF MODE! After d 4% drained completely, it will charges until 5% & stops charging again when d phone turns ON automatically!
    Then i tried to replace using another battery dat have some amount of charges, my phone turns ON and functioning NORMALLY. But IT WONT RECHARGES & SYNCS when i connect with the cables & it starts getting overheats again. But it charges if it turned OFF. I assumes dat it was not either d Dock Connector nor Battery was d problem.
    So I suspects dat d Motherboard was damaged bcoz d Liquid Damage Indicator on d damaged Dock indicates dat water was entered d phone, & d motherboard gets overheat while tries to recharge.
    But if d motherboard was damaged, how come my phone still fuctioning normally if using a charged battery? I tried to make a Call, 3G Surfing, Play Music etc & it all works fine!
    After doing some researchs, now i suspects dat d Power Management Unit IC was damaged. It iz bcoz dat it gets overheats specially on d PMU IC part.
    So i sent my phone to replace d PMUIC, & i still waiting & hopes dat it is d last resort to my phone problems...

    Please attempt to post in something approaching English, or your own language. These posts are read worldwide, and I find your post almost impossible to interpret, and I am English. "dat it is d" and "it iz bcoz" is incomprehensible to most.

  • My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

    My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
    I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
    I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
    It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
    one more bug in a complicated system I guess

  • My iphone 4s automatically getting turned off (blank black screen) and not getting started until full battery discharge, after updating to ios 8.0.1

    My iphone 4s automatically getting turned off (blank black screen) and not getting started until full battery discharge. Even on long pressing power button - screen doesn't showing anything - not even "needs charging logo".
    This is happening only since I have updated to new ios version (ios 8.1).
    Is there anyone facing similar issue?? Any suggestion?!?

  • The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.

    The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.

    Is it charged? If so try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.  If it's not charged, charge it via a wall socket for a least 30 minutes then try the reset again.

    Hello eman.jafri,
    If the phone will not turn on at all, I would reset the device with this process:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    It is possible you may have to put the device in recovery mode and restore it with iTunes.

  • I need to transfer data from my old iphone to my new iphone and I cannot turn off Find my iphone

    I need to transfer data from my old iphone to my new iphone and I cannot turn off Find my iphone as my icloud password is incorrect.  I have reset this several times and also cleared cookies history etc.  none of the above makes a difference.  Any ideas?

    The ONLY thing you can do to turn off Find My iPhone is to have the correct password. There is no way around it. You can get help with the password: If you forgot your Apple ID password
