    I know they work with newer macs but its not about software or drivers, its the headphone/microphone jack of the system that has to be able to take the input.

    I know if you have headphone + mic combo they work. But yes, highly doubtful you could get the remote to work.

    As for mapping of keys, there are ways to edit the registry this is something a google search will solve for you.

    For the iTunes thing, I use HKTunes and ctrl + [left, right, down] to switch songs / pause
