Macbook Pro migration apps do not work

As you know, there is a step-by-step process to using Migration Assistant. Maybe you have not correctly done something in that process. The following may be helpful.

As you know, you first begin by starting the process of setting up your new computer. You have done that and upgraded its operating system to Sonoma.

·      You need to turn both computers on and activate Migration Assistant in both computers.

·      The computers should be connected with a cable to facilitate the transfer. Wi-Fi is not suited for a transfer of so much data and corruption often results. If you must use it, make sure the two computers are located close together.

·      You will be given several options of what to transfer. You will likely want to transfer your settings and preferences. Remember, in the new computer, during the setup process, you have created a new user account with its own passwords.

·      You can transfer all or none of your files. You do not have an option to select certain files to transfer. If you wish to do that, then do so manually. You can transfer all or none of your installed apps. Since you have had a problem opening apps in the new computer, I would do fresh downloads to the new computer instead.

·      The old computer's operating system will not be transferred. No data from the old computer is erased.

·      Allow for up to an hour for the transfer process to complete once you start it.

·      It should set up the new computer the same as the old one.

·      When that is successful, you can log into the new Mac with the old User Account name and password and delete the brand-new user or leave it in place as a second admin account.

I hope this is helpful. Good luck.
