I love the fact that iCloud contacts saves changes to my contact list immediately to my iphone. It's a great way copy/paste directions and other info from the computer to iphone and it's instantaneous! However, recently I got a message saying that the update was not synced to the iphone due to a server error.

Is there a way to force a syncronization of all 'unsynced' but updated contacts both ways? I looked around on iPhone, and on iCloud but could not see an option to force sync. Also plugged in the iPhone to see if that does the trick, but it just does not bring in updates.

One other thing I found out today is that if you get a message saying server error, it is not stored on the server either, let alone being synced to your iPhone.
