My preview box wont isn't working, and my project won't open

Not only does the video not play back in the preview box (but it will play back in full screen), but I have a project that wont open at all. Its a seven minute video so far and it suddenly wont let me view it. Its still listed under Project Library but I cant access it. This happened after my iMovie froze while I was playing the project back.
My system preferences are updated, and I read and followed someones elses directions to delete both "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist" and "com.apple.iApps.plist" but that didnt do anything. This is all on my desktop so I cant take the whole thing into apple! Lol. Please any suggestions would help. I put so much time into it I would hate to have to start all over again! Especially with no preview box working :/
This is my first time using iMovie and the computer is only 6 months old.
Thank you so much!!!

Ok figured out that my project was corrupt (idk how) and when I removed it out of iMovie projects folder than the preview box started working again... How confusing.

Replaced an asset and now project won't open

I was finishing up some subtitles when I noticed an audio problem that needed to be corrected.
So I saved my DVDSP4 project, quit the program, then made a quick audio cut in FCP. The amount of audio cut was less than a second. And because I cut my audio, I had to make a cut in my video.
Then I exported using Compressor (DVD Best Quality - 90 mins). I saved over the original asset, figuring I could save some time and have DVDSP automatically update the altered asset.
That was my mistake. I've spent the better part of two days adding subtitles to this project, and now the frigging thing won't open.
When I opened the DVDSP project file, all my windows are missing excpect for the Palette and Inspector windows. The majority of menu options from the menu bar couldn't be accessed.
However, when I open DVDSP from my dock, it opens up, all the windows are there, and the menu bar is fully functional. When I try to open the project file I've been working on using File>Open and File>Open Recent, I lose my windows and functionality.
Any suggestions as to correct the problem?

If Houghts' suggestion doesn't clear the problem initially, you could try going back a stage (in FCP).
First make a copy of your new .m2v & sound files with a different name, and also the DVD SP project.
Next open the edited film in FCP. Assuming you have the sequence for the previous edit, redo the playout with the same settings and name you that had originally, and without the one second cut. Overwrite the originally named files with these. Exit FCP. Delete all the PAR files and prefs for DVD SP again, as per Houghts above.
Now try opening your project - since the assets referred to are the same length as before, there's a chance that DVD SP won't get confused, and will re-link to them.
If it opens, you are back on track and can import the new versions, replace, then delete, as per Houghts above.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup.
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.
Follow this article to connect in recovery mode:

I think not. You will need to order a disc from Apple quoting your serial number, as many of these discs are machine specific. So unless you can get your drive working I think you will have to take a trip to an Apple store.
Indeed, you have an old computer that may not be worth the cost of repair ... but it is still worth seeking Apple advice and a visual inspection. It just might be something not too drastic.

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

I drop my phone in a half bowl of water and the touch screen isn't working, and suri keeps coming on. is my phone broken now?

I dropped my phone in a half bowl of water. The swipe screen isn't working and Suri keeps coming on. Is my phone broken or will it work after it sits in a bowl of rice?

It is probably broken, but wait and see, it takes several days to dry out. If it does start working that may only be temporary as the iPhone corrodes.

You need to get the on/off button repaired.
You can try connecting the iPhone to a power source which should power the iPhone on.
