iTunes 5.0 Special Report: Make sure your iApps are updated

As noted by Apple in the iTunes documentation, it is imperative that you have the latest update Mac OS X (10.2.8, 10.3.9 or 10.4.2 depending on whether you are using Jaguar, Panther or Tiger respectively) for correct iTunes 5.0 operation.

Also, if you are using any iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, etc.) they will need to be updated to the latest versions for proper interaction with iTunes 5.0.
