Will Apple ever ask for my iCloud username and password over a WITHELD number

My iPhone 5 was stolen last night (I have a rough idea who it was) and it was switched on, this morning when I got home to ring the phone it is now switched off, I had Find my iPhone app but forgot to put location services on.. so I can not track my iPhone, the iPhone has been wiped I think as today I recieved a call from a Witheld number asking for my name, date of birth. I gave these over and then the person on the phone said theres a new service out where if I give them my Apple ID and password they will be able to track my iPhone... I instantly thought that it was the people who took the phone. They rang my house number which is not on my iCloud account, however the person who I assume stole it has my house number.
So my question is, do Apple ever contact you asking for the ID and password?

If you turned location services off, then they were off.
It doesn't mater what you did a few months ago.
I can log into my iCloud account on my laptop... and see my iPhone which say's offline
If it shows Offline, then you have Locations servicesand FindMyiPhone enabled.
Offline simply means it is not online at this time
If they were disabled, you would not see the iPhone at under Devices.
Set it to Lost Mode to track it when it does come online

Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Find your Apple ID'. Follow the instructions and hopefully you will be able to identify your ID.

I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don't remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone.

How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
but this email is authorized, what to do??
respectfully, Beba

OR have you recently purchased the iPhone secondhand ?

My computer is authorized, but when I try to open a recently downloaded audio file I get asked for my "Audible username and password" and my AppleID and password do not work

My computer is authorized, but when I try to open a recently downloaded audio file I get asked for my "Audible username and password" and my AppleID and password do not work.

thats because audible isnt apple provided, its a third party app/website so you'll have to get it from them

Access document in Library is being asking for an Infopath username and password

Trying to get access to files in the library. And the user is having permissions but when he clicked the file in the library he is being ask for an Infopath username and password.
A pop dialog box showing like
    "Form will open in Offline Mode"
                                  You are currently working offline.
To try to connect to data sources when the form is opened, click "Try to Connect". To use previously stored data......
Can somebody reply on this please..

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that access document in Library is being asking for an Infopath username and password.
Usually this error when the form is not connected to any of the data sources successfully. Please verify all the data connections are available or not.
I recommend to enable the options for Infopath Form Services to ensure that InfoPath 2010 is in online mode.
In addition, you can add your SharePoint server’s FQDN to your Trusted Sites or Intranet Sites zone and modify your registry settings for the WebClient service.
For more information, you can refer to:

Firefox any version Mac, has a bug were it does not see or ask for the proxy username and password. This happens if you use a virtual tagged interface.

Firefox any version Mac, has a bug were it does not see or ask for the proxy username and password. This happens if you use a virtual tagged interface. A recent network University policy change. The only way to fix this, is if you use a manual proxy configuration in Firefox. So all 100 + uni iMac's can only use Safari as I would need to do a profile push to all 300 students and I am unsure what file carries the proxy information.

My 2nd hand phone was recently restored by a repairer due to issues beyond my control and now since the restoration the phone asked me for an icloud username and password of which I have never created. what can I do???

Activation help!
I need to activate my 2nd hand Iphone by entering the apple iD and password used to set up icloud. My problem is that I have never set up icloud. I purchased the phone off the original owner almost 12 months ago and have recently experienced problems which required repairing.
The repairer apparently had to delete my iD I used to login to itunes and now is asking for icloud email and password.
Can someone help me please?

The only solution is to contact the original owner. He will need to give you the info required. Apple will not help you circumvent the activation lock.

I have changed my username and password but the apps are still asking for my old username and password. How do I change that

I have changed my username and password for my apple account but the apps previously linked to it are still asking for the old info. And I don,t know it so that's why I updated it

Apps are permanently tied to the ID and password used to purchase them. If you do not remember that information, you cannot update them. If you ned these apps, you will have to repurchase them under your new ID.

HT4623 I can't update my apps on my iPad because it keeps asking for an outdated username and password which is different to my current one

I can't update my apps in my iPad because it asks me to sign in to an outdated id which is different to my current Apple ID

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them. If you bought the apps with old username and password, you have to continue to use them to update the apps.
If you changed the username because you got a new email address, sign out of your old ID in Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap the old ID and sign out then sign in with the new/changed ID.

Creative Cloud is asking for proxy server username and password - what is this?

how do I find out the proxy server username and password

Krisw30568123 do you utilize an authenticating proxy server? If so then you will need to enter the proper credentials to access the Internet.

ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

Can I use the same icloud username and password for multiple phones?

I have 6 iphones and wanted to use Apple Configurator to install the same apps on all 6 phones. Some of the apps though, also require further installation by email. Can I use the same iCloud username and password for all 6 phones to download the apps and also to configure email or do I need to create 6 different Apple IDs?

If different people will be using these phones, you might be better off using the same Apple ID for the iTunes content...apps, music, etc. on each of these devices, but create different ID's for iCloud on each device. You can use one ID for the iTunes/App store, & a different ID for iCloud. That way, messages, notes, contacts, calendars, etc will be kept separate on each device.

No. purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them. Delete them and buy your own copies.

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot. You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services. The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?
