With using the new migration assistant (from old Mac to a new iMac 24" late 2021), we are still seeing spinning wheel of calculating all sets of files on new Mac. Should we wait till all files are calculated before selecting "continue"? Or, just select continue while it is still calculating the files?
Thanks,
Allan
When migrating please follow the steps in Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant. Whatever you do DO NOT use WiFi, the fastest and most reliable method to migrate is explained in the link. Please be patient, a fast migration will take a minimum of 1 hour however allocate up to 4 hours depending on the amount of data being migrated.

Hi, we were able to just select "continue" even though all the files that we selected were still calculating (and not stuck). It worked without an issue.
We then selecting the accounts to use with new passwords and went from there.
Everything is transferring over. This may take some time.

Hi rkaufmann87, your answer was not relevant to my question. I was being specific with the "file selection" area of the process.
However, I did read that article first and since it did not answer my question, I put the question on this board.

Not sure you can continue until Migration has finished the analysis.
Just be sure after that you are not missing any files.
"select the information to transfer" for migration assistant
