You need to be running Mac OS X 10.5 or newer to get iTunes 10. This OS version won't run on a G3.
Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 are available on DVD. Mac OS X 10.6 requires an Intel Mac.

Trying to download software driver for Novatel u727 mobile broadband card. Keeps saying that it can't be opened because it is from and unidentified developer and my security preferences only allow installation from the Mac App Store .. any suggestions?

Would it help to spend $20 and download the OS X Mountain Lion .. the link send directly from Novatel had Snow Leopard in it .. I haven't owned this laptop for long and have no clue what Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard is
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated

Snow Leopard (10.6) an Lion (10.7) are names for two versions of Apple Operating Systems. Change your System Preferences>Security & Privacy to 'Anywhere' and you should be able to install the driver.

I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.
You can find out who the supported carriers are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937

Sorry, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, thus there is no official way to do so. Your phone was re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to because you hacked it to unlock it. Apple's servers detected such & re-locked your phone. You need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to if you want to get it officially unlocked.

Hi! I sold my Iphone on ebay. The seller wants to connect the Iphone with his Apple ID, but it did not work because it says that the Iphone is already connected with another Apple ID. How can I get rid of this old connection? What do I have to do?

Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing has happened after holding for 30 seconds charge the phone for 15 minutes with the wall adapter and try again.

You are saying the phone is locked, but then you are saying there is no provider. The two situations cannot peacefully coexist. Contact Apple and they can tell you if the phone is locked and if locked to which provider the phone is locked. People on this board are not Apple employees and cannot get you that information.

Use Assistive Touch. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > Device > Lock Screen. To turn OFF, hold down on the lock screen until slide to power off appears. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB port of computer.
