Can't Pair a Bluetooth Apple Keyboard to Another Computer?
Your new computer can see it, but it fails to connect to it? It's not because you need to put the keyboard into discoverable mode (it does that automatically when first turned on). It's because it's still paired and connecting to the first computer. Even if that computer is in another room. Even on another floor.
None of the Apple support articles I found mentions that, because they assume you aren't an idiot. But I'm an idiot, and it took me way too long to figure it out. Hopefully you'll find this article if it happens to you, and you won't feel like such an idiot.

Oh dude I know what you mean. I was back and forth and back and forth between my wife's laptop and mine trying to get a mouse to connect. It must have been at least 40 min before it clicked. Sigh.

Because I know I'm an idiot, I asked for the keyboard with a cord ;-)
