Why does Finder show "Software: Loading..." when I connect my iPhone 11 Pro to iMac?

This morning I updated my iMac to Catalina 10.15.7 and my iPhone to iOS 15.0.1. Now, when I connect my iPhone to the iMac, it only shows the above message. Will this resolve itself with time, or do I have a problem? I definitely can't sync anything so I'm kind of dead in the water. Help.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Hey, thanks. I powered both off and then restarted them. I did not see a Helper Download, but everything is working properly now. I thought I powered both off and back on after the updates, but maybe I failed to do that to the iMac. Anyway, all's well now. Thanks.
