Can't buy apps via iPhone, but no issue on iPad

Hello everyone,
I'm having some trouble buying a (non-free) app from the App Store on my iPhone5 with iOS 6.1.2 for some reason. I also have iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad 2, but I have no issue whatsoever when I'm trying to buy an app on the iPad. Buying an app directly from iTunes on my iMac also works flawlessly. But for some reason whenever I try to buy an app from my iPhone, I get the following notification:
It first tells me to give my password (which has always been the case for me). Then it tells me that I have to enter payment details… I've already connected my iTunes/App Store account with Click2Buy a long time ago, but for some reason I can't select Click2Buy in my iPhone so it's currently impossible to buy anything from it.
It's a little vague I know I can't really think of any other bit of information I can give to make this any clearer to be honest, but if anyone has seen this happen before, please help!
Sincerely,
Joram

Well, that was silly... I forgot that I changed iTunes accounts on my computer/iPad/iPhone about half a year ago due to my old one being a developer account. I haven't bought a paid-app since then, hence my confusion.
Sorry for the mixup everyone! Problem solved

What happens when you try to do the in-app purchase, if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users, we won't know why) : https://www.apple.com/asia/support/itunes/contact.html

Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases! It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

I've upgraded my app via iPhone and already paid for it but noting have changed. Who am I suppose to contact with and how?

Contact the developer of the App.
Just because an app is updated does not mean it should visually change, the update could simply be bug fixes.

Are you properly selecting the content to sync in iTunes? I mean you have all of the headings - Sync Music, Sync Movies, etc. checked to sync and all of the content as well?
Is the iPad signed into the same iTunes account as your PC? You are using the same Apple ID and iTunes account on both devices. On the iPad go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - is that the same ID that your iTunes library is using?
Lastly, did you ever transfer the purchases from your iPad to the PC? Is all of the content that you have on the iPad in your iTunes library?
I can't think of any other reasons why the iTunes on the PC as seeing this as a new iPad.

You need a payment method associated with the country you are in. I would purchases an iTunes Gift card in the USA and use that as your payment method and then delete the card from the account. You may also have the change the addess in your iTunes aaccount t a USA account.

Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?

I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?

You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also.

Can´t connect to my account, error 5002 (and can´t download apps on iPhone)

Hi all. I was tryng to download an app, and after itunes request my password a message appears, about "an uknown error 5002, please try again later". I can´t buy apps with the iPhone, when i wrothe the password the new app´s icon appear with "waiting" under it, and then it dissapears.
i´m afraid this is a problem of muy account because i´v read reports about people with this error, with some kind of problem with the shopping basket.
Thanks all

Hi there,
Since this morning i experience the same problem, error code 5002.
Search the internet for some answers and try some of them but with
no results. Until yesterday everything was OK. I didn't do anything and
did not change any settings. What's wrong!

HT4528 I have accidentally restored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contacts, photos, and apps. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this to get my contacts and photos back?

I have accidentally retored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contact list, photos and all. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this so I can get my photos and contact list back?

Some accident with all the steps and warning messages provided.
All contacts on your iPhone should be available on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be included with your iPhone's backup which should have been created or updated by iTunes as the first step during the restore process - unless you declined the option.
If you declined the option, the data is gone. If not, restore your iPhone again from the backup that was created or updated before the previous restore.
