My Older MAC won’t start up. I’m hoping to transfer old info to new MAC is that possible?

If you have a Time Machine or bootable clone backup of your old Mac you can likely use that to migrate to the new Mac. However if you never backed up, then you could remove the old computer's HD and put it into an enclosure and possibly recover data from it that way, however we don't know what shape your old computer's HD is in .
If the old computer's HD is bad and you don't have a backup, then no you are out of luck. How old is the old Mac and what version of Mac OS was installed.
TDM won't work if the OP's old Mac won't start up.
Model number A1314 it’s probably 10+ years old just want photos saved on it etc...
OP's mean many things when they say "start up", sometimes if it is a broken display, for example, it starts up enough for Target Disk Mode.
