unable to connect Bluetooth Keyboard and magic mouse

I am unable to connect to either my keyboard or mouse. I have a bluetooth keyboard and magic pad in my office that was paired to my Macbook pro but I am not bringing it anymore sense getting my iPad. The iPad seems to see the keyboard but not the pad. But neither will connect. I'm baffled.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz., Mac OS X (10.6.2)

You cannot pair the magic Trackpad with the iPad... The iPad does not support anything of the sort. For one, there is no cursor (arrow, not text marker line) in iOS and never will be...

What do you mean the iPad sees the keyboard but will not connect? Have you un-paired it from the other computer? Should do that first, then do the pairing with the iPad...if it is a supported keyboard. Posters have noted they are unable to pair the old A1016 Bluetooth keyboard, ca 2005, with the iPad.

Just for information, Apple say the A11016 (original BT keyboard (ca 2003) does not work on the iPad.
