Finder doesn't see my iPhone I am trying to restore my iPhone. When I plug it into my Mac, I go to Finder (because my version of macOS doesn't have iTunes) but it doesn't show up. I try it with another device (same cable) and it shows up. Also, the iPhone has been bootlooping. Can someone help?

What is supposed to happen during DFU and restoring an iPhone? I'm restoring my iPhone SE using a Mac Mini running Catalina 10.15.3 by setting it in DFU mode: Finder has now detected the iPhone as being in "iPhone Recovery Mode" and I can press the "Restore iPhone" button within Finder. But what is supposed to happen now? Nothing appears on screen and I can't see if anything is downloading to my Mini or the iPhone. Is the Mac downloading iOS in the background, how can I tell if I'm doing it correctly?
