1. I'm experiencing "main script execution failed" error
The installation issue has been resolved.
- Please remove instinctiv.com/repo if you added it as a custom source.
- Go to installer, there should be an update available for Instinctiv Shuffle 1.0.5. Install it.
- If no update shows up, go to sources, then refresh in the top-left corner. You now should see the update.
If you've found out about Instictiv Shuffle, you're obviously smart. So naturally, we can't really explain how our Instinctiv Shuffle™ works (or you might steal it :)). But here's a quick outline of the steps that our application takes to "understand" you and select just the right songs at the right moment:
- Our application gathers the names of your songs and their associated playback.
- Via a secure and anonymous connection, this data is uploaded to our server.
- We analyze the music data and return information to your iPhone, enabling your formerly random shuffle to determine the perfect songs for you.
- Instinctiv Shuffle™ doesn't stop there! It continually gets better, learning about you and your preferences based on your skipping behavior.
Bottom line- it's sort of like magic. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just enjoy!
3. What is instinctive technology?
We think technology these days requires too much work. There are too many choices and too many ways to consume those choices, whether it be your music, your news or anything else. That's why we created instinctive technology, which learns what you want, when you want it, based only on your everyday, existing behaviors. No more star ratings or seeing what your "friends" said.
Our first manifestation of instinctive technology is the Instinctiv Shuffle, but rest assured, this is just the beginning. Instinctive technology can (and will) be used to generate recommendations across all the different categories you care about, including other media categories such as movies and TV shows. Whenever you're not sure, let Instinctiv takeover.
Don't just wander. Follow your instincts.
4. What is next for Instinctiv?
Instictiv Shuffle is just the first use of our groundbreaking instinctive technology. Our next project is still under wraps, but rest assured it will be big and bold. All we can say now is it expands into other areas of media entertainment. Once we've tackled entertainment, stay tuned, because you won't believe the other ways we're going to give you exactly what you want, when you want it.
5. What does it mean to Jail break my iPhone/iPod Touch?
Jailbreaking is a term for modifying an iPhone/iPod Touch to run third-party applications. With a name like "jailbreaking" you'd think you were doing something wrong, but thankfully for all of us, jailbreaking is completely legal. And it's awesome. Out of the box, there are many areas of your iPhone that are inaccessible to you. Jailbreaking frees these systems and unleashes your iPhone's full potential!
6. Why is Instinctiv Shuffle™ a Jail Broken application?
When we started down the path of introducing instinctive technology to the iPhone/iPod Touch, we wanted to build an application that would forever change the way iPhone users listen to music. But when we finally got our hands on the Apple SDK, it became clear that following all of its restrictions would mean creating an application that wouldn't truly enhance your listening experience and tap into the potential of your music library. So we had two choices:
- Conform to the standards and limitations set by the Apple SDK, or;
- UNLEASH a truly revolutionary iPhone application that will change the way we listen to music!
The decision was a no-brainer. And the result-The Instinctiv Shuffle-is nothing short of a next generation shuffler that will completely transform the way you play music.
7. How do I jail break my phone?
If you don't have a jail-broken iPhone/iPod Touch, don't worry-we've scoured the Web for the best "how-to" guide to make sure the process is as simple as possible.
- The first step is to find out what Firmware your iPhone/iPod Touch is currently running on. Your firmware is essentially the operating system of your iPhone/Touch. To find your firmware version on your iPhone/iPod Touch go to Settings»General»About»Version
- Instinctiv Shuffle™ is only supported on firmware version 1.1.4. If you donât have this version, go to this link: http://www.modmyifone.com/wiki/index.php/IPhone_Firmware_Download_Links, and download version 1.1.4

8. How do I uninstall Instinctiv Shuffle™?
At this point, we don't think you will ever want to go back to listening to random shuffle again. But alas, some people may want to subject themselves to this sorry fate and uninstall Instinctiv Shuffle.
Should such a travesty take place, no worries, Instinctiv Shuffle™ is has a zero-footprint uninstall should you change your mind. All you have to do is turn Instinctiv Shuffle™ off and delete the program file through Installer.app. No trace is left behind and nothing on your iPhone will be affected.
We love hearing from you. User feedback helps us stay in tune with your needs and wants, which is the basis of instinctiv technology. So drop us a line, boost our self-esteem, or tell us what we should do next with Instinctiv.
10. Is it available on any other phones currently? iTunes desktop?
Right now we are only running on the iPhone and Touch. As we expand instinctive technology into other areas, we will expand what hardware we allow to support it, depending on demand. We currently don't have a desktop application for iTunes, but if you'd like to see one, let us know!
If there's another device or player you'd like to run it on or if you'd like to see it on the desktop, let us know in the feedback section!
We believe the security of your data is of utmost importance. That's why all traffic is encrypted and made anonymous. We also don't store any IP addresses.
12. Will it be available in iTunes app store?
No. When we first realized the power of instinctive technology, we were presented with a difficult decision. Creating Instinctiv Shuffle™ with Apple's SDK (and all of its restrictions) would mean creating nothing more than another 'me too' application. So we had two choices:
- Conform to the standards and limitations set by the Apple SDK, or;
- UNLEASH a truly revolutionary iPhone application that will change the way we listen to music!
The decision was a no-brainer. And the result-The Instinctiv Shuffle-is nothing short of a next generation shuffler that will completely transform the way you play music. We are hopeful that Apple will loosen their restrictions in the future, at which time, you'll see us in the App store!
Not at first. As soon as the new iPhone is jailbroken, we'll be working hard to get it into your hands shortly thereafter.
14. Is this application free to download?
We want everyone to have the chance to experience instictive technology for themselves. Remember, Instinctiv Shuffle™ is just the beginning, so keep your eyes peeled for our next moves.
15. What versions of iPhone/iPod Touch does Instinctiv Shuffle™ work on?
Instinctiv Shuffle™ works on any iPhone running firmware version 1.1.4. If you need to download new firmware, get it here:
