HT201210 Why are there constant updates installing Quicktime and making negligible changes to softwares?

Question

In title.

Answer 1

The files with arrows on the are alias files which are indictative of a "referenced" libraray.
Check the iPhoto Advnaced preference pane and see if the checkbox to copy photos into the library during import is checked or not.  If not you have a referenced library.
If that's the case I'd use  iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild you library which will convert the library to a managed one and include all available original/master photos in it along the keywords, titles, albums, etc.  Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,                         
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
