May 4, 2016 5:02 PM in response to JMFinchby kc_may 04_2016,[50% solved... read below for experimental solution]
Hi, I had same issue. I gave up finding a solution after so many attempts doing search online, I did not have itunes installed, and hoped i could get my bookmarks via itunes. Then I don't remember if i tried installing using the installer again, or if the itunes installation automatically launched icloud installation during itunes installation, i ended successfully not having this error anymore and installed icloud successfully. It is possible that:
1. you need to install itunes before installing icloud
2. or you need to install icloud during itunes installation (if it offers you to do so along the way)
(tip: if still do not work: make sure you right click on the installer and install as administrator, i read this on a forum elsewhere, doesn't hurt to experiment repeating steps 1 then 2 with this tip, it maybe a solution)
i have now icloud installed.
i still have problems syncing my bookmarks, so it's 50% solved. if anyone have tips regarding syncing my bookmarks, please let me know. i'd appreciate any tips or suggestions i could experiment with in an attempt to solve my issue. I signed with my icloud username on itunes, icloud for windows on my PC laptop, also same on my phone icloud section. i turned icloud safari on in the icloud section. still doesn't work. i cleaned my bookmarks on firefox and IE so no conflict arise later on (less headache to avoid possible duplicate problem scenario), still i see nothing happening in IE and firefox.
please note that I have iphone 4. i also have most up to date ios possible, 7.1.2
thanks for your help.

May 4, 2016 7:34 PM in response to kc_may 04_2016by kc_may 04_2016,additional observation:
after turning safari sync button under icloud section in my settings on my iphone 4...
when i exit the icloud section, and come back to it, i find the safari sync button turned off again.
i turn on again, and accept the merge.
it's 8:05 pm now when i turned it on again.
when i keep that page open, standby my phone. then reopen the phone, the safari sync button remains turned on.
i will leave it for a while to see if things works out.
i actually checked the browser right after, bookmarks synced successfully! it seems it takes a few try to get it to work. Praise be to Allah, things stopping to work and working again without knowing much why... hehe
