Rick needs this stuff

CTRL-Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock and select"Browse Other Time Machine Disks…". Select your Time Machine backup drive and the 'star field' interface will launch. This approach will allow you to navigate back to the user folder or item you wish to Restore. You will likely be prompted for the username and password of the old account, but you will be able to move the data. Once the Restore is complete You should be able to now go into this restored folder and change the permissions of the folder or item you are trying to access. Highlight the file/folder and select Get Info from the File menu. Click the tiny gold lock icon at the bottom. You will be asked for your current admin username and password. Now click the tiny"+" button on the left. In the resulting window select your current user account and click"Select". This should have added your current username to the list under Sharing & Permission. Under"Privilege" change"Read only" to"Read & Write". Now, if the item you are dealing with is a folder, then click the tiny Gear icon at the bottom and select"Apply to enclosed items...". You will be warned that you can't undo this but click OK anyways. When finished close Get Info and you should now have full access to the item in question. (Make sure that, if it is iLife data you are moving (iPhoto, iTunes, etc), that you have run Software Update and updated your applications. Otherwise, any attempt to import the old data may result in alerts telling that it was created with a newer version.) Let us know if this resolves your issue. Cheers!
