Transferring content from my imac to my new macbook pro. Stuck towards the end. My imac says 2 hours 30 minutes remaining. My new macbook pro says 3 hours and 11 minutes. Nothing is moving. Help.
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Your best bet is to connect the MacBook Pro’s Time Machine backup to the new iMac and migrate from it. If you do not have a Time Machine backup, then make one or try migrating using a Mac to Mac Ethernet connection.

Using Ethernet also has a high failure rate. Please follow the instructions in Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant and use that, it works 100% of the time. If you don't have a Time Machine backup of the source computer, create one!!!
Thanks. I was on the Ethernet connection and it failed. On Wi-Fi now for a completely new transfer - we will see how this one goes.
