AppleHIDmouse.plist missing from out-of-box installation. Right click on mouse not working

Hello all!
I have several MBPs that I help manage. Some of our users state their (wired) Apple Mouse does not right click even after setting it in preferences.
When we looked at those computers more closely, they are missing the AppleHIDmouse.plist file in /System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/Contents/Plugins directory. While other computers have it included and right clicking works with no intervention on our part.
Does anyone know what would cause an out-of-box installation of OS X to miss that file? We copied it from a working computer and placed it into the directory on the machines showing the symptoms and their right button works now. But I'd still like some input from the community for our future deployments.
Technical Details:
The MBPs showing symptoms are 15"-17" with a mix of 8 and 16 GB models.
We tested OS X 10.7.4, 10.7.5, and 10.7.4 w/ Combo Update. All installed as fresh installs. File was still missing D:
Thank you in advance!

Menu from right clicking dock icon not working

Now, I don't know if this was present earlier - I am sure it wasn't - but when I right click on iTunes in the dock, in 10.5.3, I get Play, Pause, Shuffle, Next, Previous, Mute, etc..but when I try to click on them, nothing happens.
Can someone else replicate this?
(I am using iTunes 7.6.2)

Ran Repair Permissions. Restarted iTunes. Problem persists.
I cannot select Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Mute, Shuffle, or Repeat All/Off/One. Everything else I can access when right clicking in the dock.

Right Clicking on dock not working from System Prefs

When the System Preferences are the front most application the right mouse button acts as a left button... this is particularly annoying when trying to right right click on items in the dock when in system prefs.

My right-click behaves normally when System Preferences is in the front. What does control-click do?

HT1751 I was installing iTunes 11.1.4 and it was unsuccessful. I get a message 'Error 7 (Windows error 126). If I now try to open iTunes I get the message that 'MSCVR80.dll' is missing from my computer. Trying to download again has not solved the problem.

I am trying to "personalize my cs2 software online download with the serial number from my original boxed cd set and it didn't work. I tried using the download serial number and that doesn't work either. Need help!

I am trying to "personalize" my cs2 software online download with the serial number from my original boxed cd set and it didn't work. I tried using the download serial number and that doesn't work either. Need help!

I understand that you have also used the download link & serial number from Adobe - CS2 Downloads, if still the CS2 is not working, then please refer to the system requirement for e.g System requirements | Photoshop
The issue can be that the present operating system might not be compatible with the CS2.

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Hello i am nitin from india, i purchased a iphone5c because i heard that iphone comes with a great coustmer service, but this statment becomes totally wrong today, when i faced coustmer executive at service center of iphone then he said that i have to check it out and it may be a physical damage, ( how it is possible even i carried this phone with anti shock cover guard and its never fall down from my hand.) the simple thing i know that i want my phone replaced, otherwise it would be a great mistake of my life to purchase an iphone.
Thanks to all apple team for your wonderful service,

Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.

Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.

Yes hello,
My widgets are not working as well, i looked on forms and it seams that the 10.5 update fix there problems. I also did an archive and install from 10.4... One of the major reasons i purchased the upgrade was to use widgets to clip parts of safari, i'am totaly bummed because all forums i find end with the question un answered. i'am a little bummed becuase there are a couple of things that worked with 10.4 that are not working in 10.5 (like some meg moives not playing.
i do not wish to create a new account because i do not want to reinstall all my software, photoshop, final cut, dvd studio pro.. etc.
i hope to find the fix some how.
I have opened up the console application and when i select widgets load or delete them i see no activity in the console. I'am not familiar with the console app. or command lines.
is there any more info on this matter? is there any support from apple?
Thankyou

I am signed into the App Store on my iphone 4 and one of my apps need updating and my brother is signed into it because I didn't have any credit to make an ID so he signed in so I could download apps but its like its locked to his Apple ID I have tried signing out and turning my phone off its just not working please help.

Apps are locked to the Apple ID that was used to download them. You will have to sign in as your brother in order to update it.

Hi
Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.
