iTunes is a media library and player developed exclusively by Apple for its consumer gadgets such as Mac, iPhone, iPod, iTouch and iPad. With iTunes, you can play, download, organize, sort, sync and keep digital contents including music and video files. It offers overwhelming media content which can be bought(through iTunes store) and store media files. But there are restrictions you need to abide. iTunes can only support a handful of video file formats such as MOV, MP4, M4V, DV, 3GPP, etc.

The only solution for this is to have a handy Vimeo to iTunes converter.
