Migration Assistant does not support Share Disk thunderbolt connections FB9864910 — macOS Basic Information Please provide a descriptive title for your feedback: Migration Assistant does not support Share Disk thunderbolt connections Which area are you seeing an issue with? Installation/Setup/Migration/Recovery What type of issue are you reporting? Incorrect/Unexpected Behavior Details What does the installation/setup/migration/recovery issue you are seeing involve? Migration during installation What build of macOS were you upgrading from? macOS 12.2 (21D49) What were you migrating from? Another macOS installation What time was it when this last occurred? (Example: 12:00 pm EST 02/14/2018) 11:02pm EST 1/27/2022 Description Please describe the issue and what steps we can take to reproduce it: Migration Assistant does not appear to support “Share Disk,” the Apple Silicon equivalent of “Target Disk Mode.” I attempted to migrate data between two A2442 MacBookPro18,4 (14” MacBook Pro 2021) machines both running 12.2. With the source machine in Share Disk mode (Boot to recovery, Utilities > Share Disk), the two machines connected by a brand new 0.8m Apple Thunderbolt3 cable, the destination machine running Migration Assistant reports “Looking for sources…” forever. From the Finder on the destination machine, I can Browse Network (as explained in https://support.apple.com/en-sa/guide/mac-help/mchlb37e8ca7/mac) and connect to the source machine, so I know the Thunderbolt connection is working. Because Migration Assistant directs users to plug in a Thunderbolt Cable to speed transfers, this mode of connection should work.
