I think the original poster just wants to use the mic part, right?
The problem is the iPhone earbuds have a 4 conductor plug (common ground, left, right, and mic) where the mic input on your mac/pc is a 3-conductor jack. The earbud plug is designed to be backwards compatible with 3-conductor stereo headphone jacks, but the wiring for a mic input is different.
You might get lucky by pulling the plug halfway out of the jack or somewere in between.... you might get the right combo of conductors to connectors and get a mic signal flowing. But I kinda doubt it.
