Trying to run migration assistant between MacBooks 2019 and 2011. Both O/S up to date, both on same network. No firewall or vpn. Machines attached through USB c to USB a cable
All instructions followed but machines not finding each other
Screen message reads:
Unable to Connect
Failed to connect to ……….MacBook Pro; please research this source
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.7
<< Machines attached through USB c to USB a cable >>
USB cable is not useable as a computer-to-computer connection. The Mac considers USB a local, peripheral interface, not a Networking interface.
Do those Macs have Ethernet? You could use an 8-conductor Ethernet cable.

also, you know you have to be running Migration Assistant on EACH device, Source and Destination, right?
An easier way if you have a Time Machine backup is to connect the old Mac's backup drive to the new Mac and use that as the Source for Migration.
