The best solutions:
Before answering your question, keep in mind that the Android powered Nexus 7 can not play any iTunes purchases with Apple Digital Rights Management(FairPlay DRM). However, all iTunes songs (at least in the US) will be DRM-free in steps since April 7, 2009. 
Next, let’s see which file Nexus 7 can play before we can transfer and get iTunes music, video, movie/tv shows on Google Nexus 7. Audio formats Nexus 7 supported– MP3, AAC, OGG, WAV Video formats Nexus 7 upported– H.263, H.264, MPEG-4 encoders iTunes provides- Music in non-DRM MP3 and M4A, DRM’ed M4P Video Movie & TV Shows in DRM’ed M4V Audiobook in DRM’ed M4B and AA/AAX From my experience, if the song (.mp3 format) isn’t copy protected it shouldplay. For the little copyrighted iTunes songs, in .m4p format, you can upgrade these songs to DRM-free files for $0.30/song or use DRM removal softwareto strip DRM from them. In addition, the non-DRM M4A audio format is not supported by Nexus 7, Nexus 7 only supports MP3, AAC, OGG, WAV format music, so before transfer M4A music from iTunes to Google Nexus 7, you need to convert iTunes songs to Nexus 7 support MP3 or WMA audio format via DRM removal software. But if they are Videos, Movies or TV shows which you purchased directly through iTunes store, they are all with DRM protection. DRM can not stop you transferring iTunes video purchases to your Nexus 7, but the videos will say “this file is not supported” or “this video can’t be played” when you play these iTunes Movies/TV shows on Google Nexus 7. To achieve your goal smoothly, you may have to strip DRM from iTunes/Digital Copy/Amazon instant videos/BBC iPlayer first and then convert them to a friendly format by Google Nexus 7, a DRM Removal softwareis needed. Below is a simple tutorial for you, guaranteed to get the DRM protected videos and Google Nexus 7 to play nicely.
