My administrator privileges are gone... how do I get them back?

I've been having serious problems since downloading the latest security update...
See here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1466190&tstart=0
I tried a complete reinstall of Leopard because it was the only way to get my computer to boot back up. Now my account is labeled as Standard and I can't do anything that requires an administrator privilege. How do I fix this? And please help with the larger problem in the other post if you can.
Thanks!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Aren't those the default games that come with the iPod Classic? If so, they won't be in your iTunes library, but only on your iPod Classic itself as they are built in the iPod's software.

Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

Well, when you restore your ipad, there is really no way to get the information back. The reason you restore it i to get all of the information off of it. Why did you restore it if you wanted to keep the info?
Aa far as I know, there is no way to un-restore any device. But, you can put the info back onto the device if it was on your computer, etc.
Sorry...

Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

You can get iTunes purchases back by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

My contacts are gone, how do I get them back?

my contacts were in my phone and 5 minutes later i went to send a message and went into my contacts and I didnt have any at all? how do i get them back?

If you were syncing them with iCloud (and not another service like Gmail, Yahoo or and exchange account), and they are no longer on icloud.com, you would have to restore them from a backup source to get them back. If your only backup is your iCloud backup, you may be able to restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Hi elyyong,
Please see these articles: [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]], [[Back up your bookmarks or move them to another computer]].
I think the restore section in the 2nd article will be of most help.
Post back if not.

I have a Photography CC subscription and have downloaded some of the free fonts and used them initially but noticed now that they are gone--what do I have to do to get them back and why did they go away?

Hi Joe,
You can download the fonts thru the Adobe CC app manager for Typekit. Check to see if they are listed there.

I Installed ios6 on my iPad and now all my calendar items are gone. I tried deleting my email account and adding it back in but still no calendar items

I had the same problem on my iphone 4s and before I had realized it my phone synced up with my computer and deleted all the appointments in my outlook calendar as well. I run microsoft exchange and unfortunately my ISP doesnt backup for me so I am left reconstructing my calendar from scratch. Apple support said they had no idea why this had happened and couldnt help me. Not very reassuring.
