If you have followed the instructions for renaming your Apple Bluetooth keyboard in OS X and it doesn’t work, the problem is actually an OS X 10.6 bug. I had the original version of OS X Snow Leopard without any patches and can confirm that the “Rename” option in System Preferences->Bluetooth does not exist. To fix, simply upgrade to the latest version of Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.3 as of 5/11/2010) They apparently brought back the “Rename” option in a newer version of Snow Leopard.

I got my hands on an used Apple first-gen white plastic (not aluminum) Bluetooth wireless keyboard (A1016). After some troubleshooting, I was finally able to get it paired in Windows 7. The problem is that the keyboard is shown as being named 'peter's keyboard', presumably that was the name given to the keyboard when the keyboard was first. If you use a Apple TrackPad or Keyboard, you might experience that you are not able to rename the devices. One way is to do it from the original computer pairing the devices, but you might not have that on hand. Another way of fixing this is to make a Factory Reset of the devices, which you can access as a “hidden” feature.
