Data not transferring from PS4 to PS5 can be due to several issues. First, ensure both consoles are updated to the latest software version. Verify that you're using the same PSN account on both devices. Use either the WiFi data transfer option, connect both consoles with a LAN cable, or back up your PS4 data to a USB storage and restore it on your PS5. If problems persist, check your network settings or consider transferring games individually.
