Migration assistant is stuck

I am using migration assistant to transfer information from a MacBook Pro to a new Mac air. I was able to get the MacBook Pro to show up on the new computer. It has been stuck on “checking user’s MacBook Pro“ for a long time. I understand it can take a long time to transfer information, but I don’t think I’m even that far. I have turned off the firewall on the old computer. They are sitting next to each other physically and are on the same Wi-Fi network. Any other suggestions?

Migration Assistant repeatedly fails to transfer anything Trying to move (after years of waiting to buy a new Mac) from my Mid 2011 iMac (fully loaded) to my new refurbished MBP 14" M1 Pro machine. Migration Assistant repeatedly fails to transfer anything beyond creating a user with my username. I don't have an adapter for Thunderbolt 1 to 3 or 4, so I tried the default Wi-Fi method. I have tons of content and preferences that I would hate to completely recreate everything. HELP!
