Mac transfer hang up

Started transfer from a 2016 MacBook Pro to New MacBook Pro. Used the migration assistance, at the 7 minute left for transfer it hung up for over 3 hours. Stopped the transfer but new MacBook Pro is just spinning.

Cable connections are the fastest, most reliable.


If you are stuck you can force quite the Mac holding the power button/TouchID for ~6-10 secs


Reboot as normal and see where this leaves you.


Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac - Apple ...
