Migration assistant keeps getting stuck

Hello, I just got a new iMac, and I am trying to run migration assistant, and the number of items proceeded is at 6,009 and it hasn’t moved for a while. This happened last time I tried to run migration assistant, but it was a different number. Do you think it is my MacBook or my iMac, or a file? I am using Ethernet to hook up my MacBook to my iMac. [edit] I just checked after a long time and its still at the same number

MacBook Pro 13″

It could take a couple of hours to Migrate over Ethernet and the processed numbers may not be accurate. Best bet, is to just be patient and do not interfere with the Migration process.


If it fails, come back and share what that message says for further assistance.
