Since Apple has removed DRM protection from music files, you then can transfer music from iTunes to Nokia freely. To do so, you only need connect your Nokia with Mac, then copy your iTunes files to Nokia music folder.
Transfer videos from iTunes to Nokia on Mac
To sync video files, you have to make sure whether your files are DRM protected or not. For example, if the file is purchased on iTunes store, then it's "FairPlay" DRM protection. In case like this, you temporarily have nothing to do with this kind of videos on your Nokia with Mac (you can remove the DRM protection on PC referring to the article: How to Remove DRM Protection from iTunes for Free.). But if your videos are DRM-free, then you can successfully use them on your Nokia phone only on the condition of being saved in the proper file format like MP4.
Unfortunately, iTunes videos aren't always in MP4 or other Nokia supported formats like 3GP but in MOV, M4V and so on. At this point, to play such kind of DRM-Free videos from iTunes on Nokia, you need convert the itunes format to Nokia format first. And in order to finish the conversion easily and quickly, you are recommended a professional Video Converter for Mac which can also preserve the video quality after the task. It works like this:
Launch it and add the iTunes files to the program for the iTunes to Nokia conversion; after that, select the Nokia supported format like MP4 from the format list. Now press "Convert" down the main interface of the Mac app. The rest of the Mac conversion would be finished automatically. Connect your Nokia to Mac and then sync the converted files to your phone for the pleasure. (Learn more info about the connection, go to Android to Mac.)
