Aug 7, 2016 at 12:05 comment added Majenko We can help you with the Arduino side of things, but that would just be simple serial operations really.
Aug 7, 2016 at 12:05 comment added Majenko 90% of what you are wanting to do would be Apple programming. Not something we know much about here.
Aug 7, 2016 at 12:04 comment added Fed @Majenko that is exactly what I'd like to do. But how? I suppose I should ask the question on 'Ask Different'?
Aug 7, 2016 at 9:58 comment added Majenko You could write a small script that interfaces through serial to the Arduino and forwards commands and instructions on to other places using AppleScript.
Aug 7, 2016 at 5:43 comment added Chris Stratton This sounds more like an OSX question than an Arduino one. If the things you want to do can be done by a keyboard, you can get a Leonardo type board and be a keyboard. Otherwise you will probably need custom software on the Mac which takes custom messages from the Arduino and turns them into actions. The hard part will be coming up with the Mac side - since it is custom, the Arduino side can be trivial, for example just Serial.println("pause itunes");
