Migration has caused MacBook to be stuck in start up loop using migration assistant I transferred data from my old MacBook Pro to my primary MacBook Pro. Old pro is late 2013 running big sur and new one is 2019. it seems the migration was successful but now my newer primary MacBook Pro is stuck in a startup loop. I get a flash of a white screen then goes back to black and the Apple chime plays, just stuck in this loop. Ive tried starting in safe mode, etc but nothing has worked

Migration problems Trying to migrate Info All Users to a New mMacBookAir from an kind of old MacBook 13" Did process once and it stopped halfway, connection problems, even though WiFi is Solid and Stable. After talking to Apple, tried again and same thing. Will try connecting the Old one to Ethernet, it seems is the one that's loosing connection (guess). Any suggestions? Thanks a Lot.

Macbook Pro forces into start options Hi there, since we have poured some coffee over our macbook pro M1, we have had a pretty strange thing: the mac will always try to boot into start options. We dont press any key. It even happens when the apple reatailer detaches the keyboard Mac will present "macintosh HD" or "start options". whatever I choose, i will always end up in start options. I have a new MBA ready and I tried to mount and share the volume via options/revovery partition etc, but to no avail. The data still seems to be there: when I share the volume on another mac, i can access the data. but migration assistant on other mac sees no source. any idea on how i can log into the mac to transfer the system completely to the new machine? thanks!
