Weird, I find iTunes 7 slow on a G3, but fast on a G4 and above. Maybe its because I was using a Beige G3 at 233. Wish iTunes 7 worked okay on a friends 400Mhz PowerBook G3 (slow as a dog).
1. You need to reinstall mac os x.
2. Your iBook G3 doesn’t meet the minimum requirements for iTunes 6, so iTunes wouldnt have installed anyway (it requires a 500 Mhz G3).
you should install a better processor or ram and when you get the install disks in the mail just reinstall the os and then delet quicktime and itunes of the hard drive

actually, itunes 7 is fast on my ibook, but itunes 8 flogs it opening up on my emac

It does work, but the speed is so slow that iTunes 5 or earlier is a better bet. 5 has the store, and should work like 8 does on a Intel Mac. Fast.

my 366mhtz ibook with 320mbs of ram running 10.3.9 has itunes 7 and it works fine, however it dose take about 10 seconds to open!

I have a newer dual usb G3 that had a similar problem, reinstalling tiger fixed it and had no problems since.
