I am about to start my fourth attempt at transferring my old iPad to my new iPad. It has failed twice in the data transfer stage and once before we even got there. This is the stuff we used to be able to rely on with Apple. I don’t particularly want to set this thing up from scratch but I also don’t want to waste another hour. Sigh.
@film_girl I bought an M5 MacBook Pro a few months ago. Transferring from my M1 MacBook Pro took 5+ attempts. I only got it to work by taking a bootable Carbon Copy Cloner backup and transferring from that. It was infuriating. I feel your pain.
@Alan wow! I always do a clean setup on laptops but how frustrating! Again, I expect this garbage from the Windows ecosystem but not Apple.
