I have an old 80GB iPod which is used as a harddrive because the screen's been smashed. I generally use it to put movies on there and watch them on my PS3.
Recently I learned that the files were just as compatible on the PS4 and it's a hell of a lot easier to keep track when watching long series thank to the Recently Viewed list.
However when I plug up my iPod into my PS4 I get a message saying that the device can't be used. But it clearly can evident by the fact that I have been watching videos off it and transfer images from the capture gallery to it.
Why am I being told I can't use my iPod when I clearly am? is there some sort of functionality that I'm not aware of that I can't use with my iPod but can with another device?
NOTE: not sure what generation the iPod is but it looks like an iPod Classic

So your problem is just the error message?
This thread seems to state that only USB HDDs can be used:
Perhaps this is why you are getting the error message.
You could get rid of those error messages if you connect the ipod to a computer running a media server, and then connect from the ps4, as outlined in this article
