Migration assistant fails to connect.
Connection Method: Wifi
Old Machine: MacBook Pro 2009
New Machine: MacBook Air 2019
The machines can see each other but when I select the old machine from migration assistant on the new machine the assistant will hand for a while and then "Migration Assistant failed to connect to machine XYZ"
Solution: Ethernet
I have a USB-C to Ethernet dongle. I turned off wifi and connected the machines directly to a router. Migration assistant connected and started the transfer. I suspect the old wireless card just can't handle the traffic. Alternatively one might try making an ad-hoc wifi network from the old machine and connecting the new machine to that.
