Updating old iPod w/ new Mac

[suzaroozy]

I have two old iPods that don't seem to be compatible with my new MacBook Pro. I can't get it to recognize them to add or remove songs (I have new iPods, iTouches that work fine). Any thoughts on how to make them work or do I need to just get rid of them??

What iPod models are you talking about and what kind of cable do you use (USB or Firewire)?
