Hi im just bought the arduino mega and tried to compile the Timer3 pde with the TimerThree.h and TimerThree.cpp files from the arduino site

However, it gave me a bunch of errors from within the cpp file
does anyone know why this is and how i can fix it?

Where are the .cpp, .h, and .pde files? It looks like some of them are both in the libraries directory and in your sketch, which could cause the duplicate symbol definitions.
