Migration Assistant stuck on 'Starting up'
I'm setting up my new MacBook Pro, 2020. I'm using 'Migration Assistant' to move stuff over. It now says Starting up, but it's been like that for an hour. How much longer should I wait?

So I fixed this by cancelling the migration and restarting Migration Assistant with the following conditions
After these steps, transfer started right away - no more long “Starting up”. Whole transfer of about 100gb took less than 2 hours

Im on this too right now. But I’ve been stuck for about 15 hours now.
how long did you wait on yours? Did you eventually finish?
I waited 3 hours. It never finished, and I cancelled. I restarted Migration Assistant, and then only checked 'Home' or something like that. I didn't have the right cable, so it was over Wifi. Took all night, and then it finished, and everything was fine. I didn't change id's or anything. I wanted to ditch some applications that were causing problems for me, so that's why I wanted to exclude applications. I got my music, and photos too, which I wasn't sure I would get; was it part of my user data? Was it on iCloud? Who knows, it got there . I got my documents separately (I googled this, can't remember now what I did).
