Migration Assistant makes it super easy to move data from your old Mac to your new one, either directly or from a Time Machine backup. You can connect two Macs with Thunderbolt, FireWire, or Ethernet, or even just using the same Wi-Fi network if you don't have one of these cables. Aug 14, 2020 Apple includes a useful tool as part of macOS: Migration Assistant. This feature is similar to Setup Assistant, which only runs during the setup of a new Mac; therefore, if you have set up your Mac is new, you will have to use Migration Assistant to copy files from either a backup or a different Mac.

Hi guys!
I've just replaced my old windows XP PC with a mac mini and i love it.
However, I'm having a problem with the migration assistant, the mac see's the PC and attempts to connect to it, saying i need to put in a pass code on the PC. The PC continually says 'waiting for connection from a mac'
I don't know if the problem is the mac or the PC!
Both have the fire walls off and file sharing ON. The Mac is on a wireless connection but the PC is on a wired connection. does this make a difference?
Someone please help me!!!

Is it possible to use Migration Assistant over USB? To migrate from 13-inch MacBook Air (mid 2009), which has a single USB 2 (480 MBit/s) port, into a new MacBook Pro (mid 2017) 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo/2GB/128GB SSD, which has two Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Apple ships a free utility called Migration Assistant that lets users transfer data and apps between two Mac computers. Not just that, the migration tool can also transfer files from Windows PC to.

If possible, how to do it? Because I think that Target Disk Mode (TDM) does not work on the MacBook Air described above (since it only has a USB port; it does not have Thunderbolt or FireWire ports).

If possible, I do not want to use WiFi (it is utterly slow and unreliable) or Ethernet (cumbersome and also quite slow and unrealiable sometimes).
