How long should it take icloud.com to update from changes made to address book?

We've had a lot of issues with our address book so before I do too many changes (ie. delete duplicates, updates) I want to make sure that everything is synching correctly.

I am making the changes in address book, on contact from "iCloud". I am seeing some changes being made at icloud.com - do I just need to be more patient? Does it take time? Or should it update as soon as I hit refresh contacts.

We've had so many issues getting address book to work properly - it seems we are really close to a solution.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.

Changes take place immediately for me.

You might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book before adding, amending or deleting contacts.

Just one (long) shot

Turn iCloud contacts off in the iCloud preference pane, then turn back on (you may have tried this already) and also, if you are still signed into Mobile Me in System Preferences, sign out, don't sign back in until Address Book is behaving.

Do you use the calendar? and if so is that working correctly?
