Hello, I am using Mirgation Asssistant to transfer my old MacBook Air to new MacBook Pro. It’s been over 2 hours. And over an hour ago, my new Mac started saying “Starting up” and old Mad started saying “Looking for applications and documents to transfer”. It has not changed since then.
The “loading bar” is all blue but it seems like it’s still loading. Am I stuck or it’s normal?

This is normal, as your Mac is scouring through its contents trying to find items to transfer. The progress bar isn't always very accurate.
