Is there a way I can prompt my iPhone to sync / update with iCloud. I recently added a contact on my Mac and it has sync'ed on iCloud, but not reflecting on iPhone.

I had a similar problem recently with my calendar. Nothing added via my Mac would sync to the iPhone, despite confirming all settings. I finally had to turn off syncing on the iPhone, then turn it back on. Give that a whirl.

Thanks. It eventually sync's but in its own time it seems. Apple needs a refresh button.

I found the same thing. If I have both my iPhone and iMac together on my home network, syncing contacts and anything else is almost immediate. However, if I'm up and about away from home it does take time to sync.
