Got an iPad, iPhone 4S, and my wife has my old 3GS. All set up to sync calendar and contacts with each other via iCloud. This works fine - most of the time.

My wife added a load of new contacts using the iPad and all of these now appear on both our phones - except for two.

One was a completely new entry, the other was an exisiting contact that had a landline phone number added.

I've logged into iCloud.com and these two contacts aren't there, so they haven't been pushed from the iPad.

The only advice I can find to fix this is to turn off Sync Contacts on the iDevice, allow it to sync so all the Contacts get deleted, then re-enable Sync Contacts. Thing is, that will achieve nothing if we do it on our phones as the contacts aren't on iCloud. Doing this on the iPad means we will have to re-enter the new contacts - not really a big deal for two I know, but what if it was 10, 20, 50 etc.??

Anyone any ideas how to fix this, and does the sync write an error log anywhere?
