Part 2: How to Fix iPhone Data Transfer Stuck?

The good news is that no matter what the reason is, when you get stuck on transferring data to iPhone, you can use the following eight solutions. Before you start fixing this, you need to confirm two things: your old iPhone supports iPhone migration (make sure the device is running iOS 12.4 and later), and both iPhones are connected to the same WiFi network.

Solution 1. Wait more time

If your WiFi network connection is weak or is affected by other factors and there is a network failure, your iPhone may take longer to complete the data transfer, especially if you need to transfer a large amount of data, you may consider it as "iPhone restore stuck on 1 minute remaining". Please be patient for at least 15-20 minutes.

Solution 2. Check the WiFi network condition

When you use the Quick Start to migrate data to the new iPhone 14/13/12/11, both devices need to be connected to the same stable WiFi network. You can go to "Settings" > "WiFi" to check WiFi network condition on the two iPhones.

You can even reset the network settings with one click to resolve any unknown network issues causing iPhone to iPhone transfer stuck. Proceed as follows: Go to "Settings" > "General" > "Transfer or Reset iPhone" > "Reset" > "Reset Network Settings". Finally, enter your password to set it up.

The above operation will only erase all Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth connection history, and will not delete other data on the iPhone. After that, you can connect to Wi-Fi to try again.

Solution 3. Change to use Quick Start in a wired way

As mentioned above, the issue of iPhone transferring data stuck can be caused by a weak or damaged internet connection. Well, you can instead use Quick Start's wired transfer mode to transfer data. For this, you need to prepare a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and a Lightning to USB Cable. The steps are exactly the same as you do wirelessly.

Solution 4. Check the versions of iOS on both iPhones

To use the Quick Start service to complete the iPhone migration, you need to make sure that both iPhones are using iOS 12.4 or later. Therefore, you need to check if the iOS version on both devices is up to date.

On your iPhone, go to "Settings" > "General" > "Software Update" to check. If there is a newer version of iOS, there will be a prompt on the screen. You just need to follow the prompts to update the iOS version.

Solution 5. Check out your new iPhone

Many users have reported that sometimes all the data has been transferred, but the new iPhone screen will still show that there is still about a minute left in the data transfer. In this case, you can check your new iPhone's gallery, music or WhatsApp data, etc. If everything you need is there, then you can either cancel the transfer or force-boot your device and start using it.

Solution 6. Restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup

The problem of transferring data to new iPhone stuck mainly occurs when users use the device-to-device migration of Quick Start to transfer data. Well, if you have backed up your old iPhone to iTunes or iCloud before, then you can choose to restore the iTunes or iCloud backup to your new iPhone 13/12/11/X. For specific steps, please refer to the following two guides:

Solution 7. Restart both phones

No matter what kind of phone problems you encounter, restarting is always the most direct and easiest way to eliminate system errors. So it might be a good idea to restart both devices before trying to transfer data again.

• For Android devices, you need to press and hold the power button, then select "Restart" from the power options that appear on the screen.
• For iPhone, you need to hold down the power button and slide the slider to the right to turn off the device. Then, press and hold the power button again to restart the iPhone.

After restarting both phones, you can now go back to Move to iOS, reconnect the devices and try the file transfer again.
