I have an iPhone 4. My wife has an iPhone 3GS.

We have a 27" iMac at home. We have the iMac set up with two separate user accounts, one for me, one for my wife.

I have a couple USB charging cables. When either my wife or I are logged into our accounts and actively using the computer - the iPhones will charge just fine.

However, if we should plug the iPhones in and then log out of the iMac -- but leave it still on -- the iPhones won't charge.

Is there a reason for this?
