Why does my iPhone repeatedly beep when i plug it into my macbook

My phone is repeatdly every 5 seconds making the noise that it makes when you plug your phone into a charger, my phone keeps beeping every time i try to hook it up to itunes on my macbook... has anyone else had this issue?!

Hey there lilcarusox3,
It sounds like your phone is acting like you are unplugging it and re plugging it when you connect it to your Macbook. Thats an odd issue, lets see what we can do here. I would start by using the USB troubleshooting from the following article for iOS devices:
iOS: Troubleshooting USB-related alerts when syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5254?viewlocale=en_US
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 may 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 iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you have not already.
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.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

  • Why does my iPhone 4s beep when answering incoming calls or placing an outgoing call?  How do I turn it off?

    Starting today my iPhone 4s now beeps when I am making an outgoing call or when I receive an incoming call.  I am wondering if this is due to the recent upgrade to 7.0.4.  My phone is on Verizon.  Does anyone know how to turn this beep off?

    This is a new feature of iOS 8 ... go to your iPhone's FaceTime settings and turn off "iPhone Cellular Calls".

  • Why does my DSL stop working when I plug it into my filter?

    This is really annoying. I was having problems with my phone/dsl connection and verizon sent me a filter. Great! I've been using the filter for a while now and the first problem was when I plugged in the filter then the dsl and phone the internet wa very slow. If we tried to watch a youtube video while the filter was plugged in it would be painfully slow!
    Now the DSL wont work at all! The little green light disappears in the internet section whenever i plug the dsl into the filter. I work online and need both the phone and internet to work at the same time. Any ideas what to do?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

    Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

    Deborah,
    The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
    I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
    (1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
    (2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
    (3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
    (4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
    (5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
    (6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
    (7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings .  this wipes settings but not data and media.
    This is really frustrating.

  • Why does my iphone 4s beep while charging?

    Why does my iphone 4s beep while charging?  It seams like it is at every 10% increment, I get a "beep".  I keep the phone by my bed at night and this is bothering me!  This has been happening only for a short while, the phone was new last December.  I do not keep real close track of the last IOS update so I can not "blame" it on that or some "wierd App" that has "altered" my phone!
    So if anyone has an idea, please share!
    Brian

    why don't you bring your phone to Apple for battery diagnostics.  I assume you've tried a different charger and cable.

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer.  This happened after I agreed to a failed software update.

    My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either.  This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed.  How can I get it going again?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1386 Why doesn't my iphone show up when I plug it into my computer? I do not have a listing for "devices" and thus cannot backup my iphone contacts etc.

    I am trying to backup my iphone contacts through itunes... Oddly, my iphone 4 is not visible under 'Devices' when I plug it into the USB port on the computer. It doesn't seem that I will be able to connect to or access or change anything unless my phone shows up as a Device in Itunes on the left side. Suggestions? I have tried two different ports and neither permits my iphone to show up as a device in itunes.
    Appreciatively,
    Donna

    I will go back to step one on your support link that suggests checking the USB cord. or connectors I use it to charge the phone all the time but the phone does not register as a device in my computer either. I tried all four ports. Thanks. You have me off on a new path... hopefully to find a solution.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s stall when I turn on the sleep/wake button and how do I fix it

    I was just wondering why my iPhone 4s stalls when I press the
    Sleep/wake button? And how do I fix it?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • How do I stop my iphone (4) from beeping when I plug it into power?  It's both annoying and disturbing to others when I do it late at night.

    Everytime I plug my iphone into power or if power goes and returns, it beeps loudly.  I can't find anyway to reduce the volume or disable the beep.  Searching previous threads suggests Apple finally addressed this issue (at least partially) with iPad, but nothing for iPhone.  I've disturbed people at night when I plug it in, so I'm really interested in getting this beep under control.  Any suggestions?

  • Why does adobe bridge come on when I plug in my phone?

    when i plug my phone or ipod touch into the computer sync cable the photo downloader comes on (this i like) but also adobe bridge. How can I make it not do that?thanks
    kt

    You can do it.
    Un-check the box as described before, then connect your device(s) & open Image Capture from /Applications.
    Select each device in the left pane, & use the 'connecting this camera opens...' dialogue, choosing
    the Photo Downloader.app inside Bridge.
    First, open a Finder window & select your Bridge application. Right (ctrl) click it & choose 'show package contents'. Open the Contents/MacOS folder inside & locate Photo Downloader.
    When you use Image Capture  : choose 'Other...' from the list, then drag the Photo Downloader app from the Finder window onto the selection window that opens.
    The next time you connect the device, Photo Downloader should open (it does here), with a dialog window including the option to 'Open Adobe Bridge' which you will want to un-check.
