How have you been backing up the data on your computer and the external drive up until now?
I assume that you want to use the Time Capsule to back up your Mac and the external drive. Is that correct?

I lost everything on my iPod and iTunes (the app) is telling me I have to buy my music and videos all over again. How can I reinstall them without buying them again??

Help?

As long as you have the files stored on itunes from your computer or backed up, you should be to connect your ipod to computer and sync your music back onto your ipod.

I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died. Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive. How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died. Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive. How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

This is a tricky one.
Open up Time Machine and go back to a date using the timeline on the right side of the window when you know the drive was working and was backing up as part of Time Machine backups.
Click on the name of your Mac under the Devices heading on the left side of the window in Time Machine, and if things are working correctly you will see Macintosh HD (or whatever you have named it) and the name of the external hard drive that was backing up in the past.
Right-Click on the name of the external hard drive and then click on "Restore (name of drive) to....." You may be asked for your adminstrator password at this point.
It might be easier to restore the drive contents to your desktop if you have room on your Mac, and then copy things over to the new external drive where you want to store the Aperture and iMovie Libraries.
Once the libraries have been moved over the new external hard drive, you will likely need to "point" Aperture and iMovie to the location of the libraries on the new external hard drive.

I want to move my music and photos to an external hard drive from my iMac. What external hard drive should I get?

I want to move my music and photos to an external hard drive from my iMac. What kind of hard drive should I get? Will it remove it from iMac and only be on external hard drive?

How to correctly move your media:
iTunes: How to move the library to an EHD
iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
It is important that the External Hard Drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
And also make sure that all is working to your Satisfaction before Deleting anything Off your Mac.

I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie. I used drag and drop to copy them.

You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

If you can't find the Music and Videos apps on any of your homescreens or app folders, then can you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My contacts and photos were erased while update how do i get them back?

my contacts and photos were erased while update how do i get them back?

What Kilted said. If your photos or contacts were synced from another computer, get them there. Or if they have become unchecked in iTunes, re-check them and then sync. I had different things synced from two computers, and I think something like this happened to me. Anyway, now I will sync by wifi so probably won't have this worry any more.

Can I reinstall music and photos from my ipad

Hi Stephen,
You'd need to use a 3rd party program to remove the content off your iPad, iTunes is only designed to sync purchased content off the iPad (content that was purchased on the iPad). There are several 3rd party offerings, a popular one is called Senuti.

I have somehow erased my music and photos from my iphone3 I am so new to this kind of phone and have no idea on how to recover anything PLEASE help me

please someone help me recover all my music and pics from itunes somehow i erased it all from my phone

Wherever you put it. The iphones is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Everything on your iphone should be on your computer.
All of your music should be in itunes.
You should knw where you keep your pics. What pics are you talking about? Pics taken with iphone? You should be importing these to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Pics synced to iphone from your computer will be on your computer, as that is where they came from in the first place.
Maybe if you were to explain your situation, you could get more specific help.

those are photos that have been synced to your phone from your computer. plug in your phone to your computer, open itunes, select 'photos' tab from the top, and uncheck 'sync photos'
this will erase the photos from your phone that are not in the camera roll

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
