Transferring Data from 2014 Macbook Pro to 2019 Macbook Pro via Migration Assistant

Hi jbpetty,

If you have the correct cables, you could try putting the 2014 MacBook Pro in Target Disk Mode.

Or, try updating the 2014 MacBook Pro to macOS Catalina. Install any minor updates available on the 2019 MacBook Pro as well. Then, try using Migration Assistant on both Macs again.

Should you have a 'Time Machine' backup, that can be useful in resolving this matter.

This can be used to help transfer older machine data to newer mac, & other things.

"Migration Assistant copies all of your files from your old Mac to your new Mac

so that you don't have to copy them manually. If your files are currently on a PC,

follow the PC migration steps instead. IF .. moving content from a Time Machine

backup, follow the steps to restore your Mac from a backup instead."
