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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie. Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

Look in your Applications folder. If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder. Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

Suddenly my new itouch shows the incorect album artwork for some songs, but only on teh device - the itunes library on ym computer is correct. I did resync but non change. any ideas on how to get it to match again?

Got my new itouch and after some minor issue syncing, i was able to get everything set up. However I just noticed that soem of the album artwork is not matched up to the song that is currently playing. I also sometimes, after syncing, I get a message stating "iTunes unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." Any ideas on hwo to get the artwork realigned to the correct songs?

Try this, it has worked for me.
1. Make a new, empty iTune library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key.
2. Choose create new library; do NOT have iTunes scan for music.
3. Enable iTunes Match on the empty library.
4. Find the tracks with the wrong artwork, highlight them, Get Info and paste the correct artwork into the "artwork" field.
5. When finished update iTunes Match, then re-launch iTunes while holding down the Option key and chose select library to get back to the "master" library.

IPod Touch disabled for 4961238 minutes

I don't have 4961238 minutes to live, but my iPod says that's when I should try to use it again.
I haven't used it in a while, so I got it out to use it to find this message. And in that time, fortunately, my warranty expired. Is there anything I (or anybody) can do short of buying a new iPod to salvage this thing?
P.S. 29 dollars to get help from an Apple Expert is ridiculous.

You will probably need to try to restore it.
If you do this, it will restore the ipod to factory settings and erase everything.
