i visited the apple shop today to learn how to migrate data from my old MacBook air to my new Mac mini without using the migration function
i was told to press a key and the letter T but I can't work out what function key was ?
can anyone help
MacBook Air
They were probably telling you to startup in Target Disk Mode so the MBA becomes a source drive for the Mini: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19021?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can also just connect the two with an ethernet wire and the MBA will appear as a drive on the desktop of the Mini and you can drag and drop content that way.
Couple of options to accomplish the task.

I know its been a long time but I just came across this thread. In case anyone else is trying to figure out how to startup in target disk mode, you press the Command key and the letter T while booting your computer.
How do I turn my MacBook Air into a hard drive to export data to my macmini
