The original Apple Wireless Keyboard, introduced in 2003, is not compatible:

Jun 17, 2012 1:01 PM in response to Philly_Phanby jstackpo,If your (aluminium) keyboard is new enough (I don't know how new it needs to be, mine's from September 2010) what worked for me (after a fair amount of futzing around) was just to power down my iMac desktop.
Then my (new) iPad paired up with the keyboard without difficulty.
