I am setting up a new iMac and donating the old one to my parner, until now my partner and I have shared an apple account, now we want separate accounts, can he still use my account on his Mac for iTunes?
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 "You can authorize up to five computers with your Apple ID."
Make sure you have everything downloaded to your computer that you want before you do this with the other computer. I am not 100% sure if the section below applies in this scenario but you may want to play it safe just in case it does.
Manage your associated devices in iTunes - http://support.apple.com/HT204074 - In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match, Family Sharing, or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that device becomes associated with your Apple ID. You can associate your Apple ID with up to 10 devices, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. You don't need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. After you associate a device with your Apple ID, you can't associate that device with another Apple ID for 90 days."
After this you may want to consider Home Sharing if applicable.
