My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness setting all the way up. how do I get it back to normal?

My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness is completely up and can barely see it. Started all of a sudden.

I am experiencing the same problem. There are lots of discussion threads on this topic. Several people have had short term luck restoring their touch or wiping it clean and starting as a new ipod again. Not a great option, but better that losing the darn thing completely. What has worked for me several times is to power the unit down and leave it for a day or two then it seems to work again. It seems clear to me that this is not a hardware issue, as when it first powers up the screen is fine and sometimes it lasts and other times only for 5 seonds. Also since resetting the software address it, there is no problem with the hardware. SO where is tech support in addressing this. My gen 2 ipod no loger has any sofware updates, thanks apple!
Anybody found a long term fix for this???????

If it's no longer in iTunes or stored in a backup anywhere, I"m afraid you are out of luck.
For music purchased in iTunes, you can redownload it again no cost via iCloud if you live in a country where this service has gone live. See this article for more details.

As for music imported from outside of iTunes, you'll need to rerip those into iTunes if at all possible.

I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
Can all download them someway?
thanks

The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.
Good luck.

i googled for answer to resolve the zoom problem. all the anwers just told you to read links but didn't tell how to fix the screem back to normal then it can be able to go to Setting to fix the zoom funciton. HOWEVER, I accidentally found the solution myself by using a fingers or more
to draw circles clockwise on the screen....it will reset it normally. I spent hours trying to go diagonally, compressively still didn't work.

Do this, copied from page 143, iphone_user_guide 5.1 Accessibility features:
Turn VoiceOver on or off: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “Triple-click Home” on page 153.
You can turn individual accessibility features on or off in Accessibility settings on iPhone. You can also turn some features on or off in iTunes when iPhone is connected to your computer.
Turn on accessibility features using iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.
Turn on accessibility features using iTunes: Connect iPhone to your computer and select iPhone in the iTunes device list. Click Summary, then click Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary screen.
