Migration assistant stuck - transferring from Mac to Mac
I am currently trying to transfer all my data from my old macbook pro to new one. Every time I have tried to use the migration assistant it either stays stuck in the "starting up" part or the "checking for conflicts" part. The number of transfers is always at zero. I left both laptops plugged in overnight knowing it would take a while but this morning it still hadn't moved.
If I can't get it to work, can I just transfer everything on old Mac to Icloud and then download onto new mac via icloud? I'm really just wanting to transfer all my videos, pics, and documents.
Spec of old mac:
macOS High Sierra
Out of storage space
Macbook from 2012.
New mac
2019 version
macOS Big Sur
