I can easily drag files out of my passport into my itunes. But the problem is I want to store music on my passport and it won't let me drag anyfiles into the passport from my mac. it works fine on a PC.

How can I solve my issue?

Most likely it's formated as NTFS. Macs can't write to NTFS without some modifications or through the use of third party programs like Paragon NTFS, or NTFS-3G.

If you are running Snow Leopard you can do some script work to enable NTFS. You can google for this.
