Perhaps a temporary solution to help with the transition, maybe a kitty dvd like this one ? You will see that some folks in the reviews used this to help their cats transition to indoors only. My sister's cat loved this dvd though I know not all cats will connect with it. Her cat would watch it for hours day in and day out. Stopped him from howling when she sectioned him off in the house during the work day. Could be worth the experiment for $13. Also, you can rotate with animal shows or any other topics of interest (my cat "likes" shows about puppies etc)
ETA: Make sure your tv can take some kitty swats

As suggested, leave the TV or a radio on so there is some sound. I would also add some features to your apartment to allow him to "level up". Some "Cat Shelves" and especially "window seats" so he can climb around and pretend he's outside. If you have the ability to hang a bird feeder by the window seats, all the better. He'll have something to watch. (I call it Cat TV). Also make specific play time so he's interacted with. Spend a good 20 minutes a day with him stimulating him. Cats, believe it or not, love interaction with us. Also if he's leash trained, consider actually walking him like you would a dog.
If you are considering another cat, he would be happier with a cat and not a kitten. Kittens are adorable but they are a pain the in the bum. Find a cat or kitten who has a similar energy level. I've done it, and the cat actually settled pretty well. It just took some creativity on my part.
