The transfer seems to have stalled. What should I do? I’m transferring files from my old MacBook Pro to a new one using migration. Even after 16 hours, it appears to have stopped transferring after 100000+ documents. What’s the best thing to do?

what do you do when migration assistant freezes mid transfer? I have a new (2022) Macbook Pro and am using Migration Assistant to move info from an old Macbook Pro to my new laptop. It has slowed to a crawl and in fact seems to have frozen. What do I do?

Frozen Migration to new MacBook pro using Wi-Fi Trying to migrate from mid 2014 macbk pro with Big Sur to new 2021 m1 macbk pro with Ventura using Wi-Fi. Setup completed before starting migration. Migration appeared to go smoothly for about 2 1/2 hours. Then screen says about 394,000 files transferred with 5 minutes remaining. That was about 20 hours ago. Screen options are “back” or “cancel”. I don’t know if transfer is complete and not telling me or migration assistant is frozen near the finish line. Don’t know what back means and don’t want to cancel if migration is complete. What’s the best way to get out of this without making things worse?
