I'm not real tech-savvy, but an iPodTouch linked by wire to a PC running iTunes on which there is a backup shouldn't invoke a firewall issue, as far as I can imagine.
With the iPhone setup, I went ahead and attempted a restore via iCloud, and this appears to be going well via WiFi. If this was a firewall issue, I'm thinking this shouldn't be working. Question remains about dialog in iTunes on connect about "Apple Mobile Device Service is not connected." Maybe I'm wrong, and it is somehow a firewall issue, but would appreciate help with that or some other trouble-shooting advice. Thanks.

The following message occurs tonight in iTunes when hooking up my iPodTouch: "This device cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started. " I backed up this iPodTouch on this PC 1 week ago, and all went fine. I went in tonight to back it up again before restoring it to my new iPhone 5. I got the same message when hooking up the new iPhone 5 in an attempt to restore the iPodTouch back from last week. I don't know what the message means or what I should do. I'll appreciate any help.
