Troubleshooting my inability to connect to facetime

Hi all,

I am trying to use facetime and iMessage from my iPhone 5 running IOS 6.02 on my wireless network. My Mikrotik router is running RouterOS 5.22.

Facetime and iMessage are unable to connect. I suspect my firewall rules are to blame but I can't figure out which rules I need to alter. Please see the below article for the ports that need to be open for faceTime to run.

I am attaching my rules with this message. I do not see any port matches. Do I need to open a specific port?

why not put a log rule on top of the other rules with src-address of your iphone 5 and try then to use those applications and see in logging what ports they use
