Separate an iCloud identity from an App Store purchase
When two Infuse installations show different library details, first decide which information you expected to travel between them. Firecore documents iCloud synchronization for saved library information; it is not a transfer of the video files themselves. A film appearing on a second device therefore does not prove that device can reach the storage location that holds the film.
Apple permits different identities for iCloud and the App Store. Checking only the account that installed Infuse can leave the relevant mismatch unnoticed. On each device, inspect the iCloud account privately, then compare the Infuse version. Use a short private checklist with device name, software version and whether iCloud Drive is enabled. Do not publish account addresses or saved share credentials.
Establish the documented prerequisites
Firecore’s checklist requires current Infuse versions, iCloud Drive, some available iCloud storage and iCloud Sync enabled within Infuse. Work through these prerequisites on both devices before removing a source. A full cloud-storage allocation is a different condition from an inaccessible NAS, even if both eventually leave a library looking incomplete.
Choose one simple, reversible library change as the observation: for example, rename a personal favorite on the first device and check the corresponding place on the second. Keep the media source unchanged while comparing. This produces a narrower result than adding several shares and deleting cached data at the same time. Note which device created the change and which device failed to receive it.
Identify information with a separate synchronization route
Firecore distinguishes the general synchronized details from Pro-only watched history, ratings and playback position. Check the applicable entitlement when the disagreement concerns progress rather than the source list. A successful favorite change does not establish that every kind of history is enabled for the same account arrangement.
The documentation also says Plex and Emby Connect shares must be set up separately on each device. Their absence is not sufficient evidence that iCloud synchronization is broken. Recreate the supported server connection deliberately and verify its own login. Avoid turning a missing server connection into a reason to delete otherwise correct iCloud data.
Describe the remaining failure precisely
After the prerequisites match, report the specific field that differs, the two application versions and the direction of the attempted change. If the item appears but cannot play, investigate access to its original source. If only watched position differs, describe that history behavior. These are useful, separate support cases.
Keep data removal for a situation where the consequences are understood. A synchronization reset is broader than refreshing one library view and can complicate a useful comparison. The expected outcome of this procedure is a clear account and data-type diagnosis, not a claim that every device has been tested with IPTV Europe.
Questions answered
Does iCloud sync copy the videos to another device?
No. A synchronized library reference and an accessible video file are different things. The receiving device still needs a working route to the media.
Can my App Store identity differ from my iCloud identity?
Firecore explicitly allows this. Compare the iCloud identity when diagnosing iCloud sync; purchase identity alone does not establish the sync account.
