I have a new iPod Touch 5G (32GB) and am trying to set it up using the iTunes backup from my previous iPod. Each time I do it, iTunes tells me the settings have been restored and the iPod restarts. But it then demands I start the whole process again, in an endless loop. Am I doing something wrong?

There are some setup options that must be gone through after a restore before it's ready for use. Have you tried actually going through them, or are you just assuming that the restore didn't work right?
Thanks for the fast response! I've gone round and round about a dozen times. Each time it asks me to set the language and location again and then decide whether to set up as new or restore from backup. I have resisted setting up as new, so as not to lose everything I had on the old iPod. But however many times I go round and it tells me the backup has been restored, I just get back to square one again.
Are you sure the backup is restoring properly? You're not getting an error of some kind? Are you actually restoring a backup, or are you simply restoring iOS.
It sounds to me like the backup may be corrupt.
The message I get is: "The settings for your iPod touch have been restored. Please leave your iPod touch connected …". The iPod then restarts but takes me back to the initial welcome screen … "Hello .. slide to set up". Before I click to restore, iTunes tells me that the iPod has never been backed up to this computer. But I get no error message at any point.
What if you only restore to factory settings/new iPod and not from backup?
Maybe there is corruption in the backup that is causing the problem
New iPhone demands setup each time I turn it on. Why?
