For the iOS part, you can use MonoTouch and MonoDevelop IDE.

You can develop for Mac using Java (for sure) and C# (mono), but to program for iOS it's best to learn Objective C. Solutions that cross-compile your code for use with iOS from other languages are available, but in my experience the learning curve of getting into Objective C is not steep enough to justify jumping through third-party hoops. To my taste, the language has more than its fair share of "cruel and unusual" syntax (mostly around the method calls area) but then again most computer languages look ugly to an untrained eye, so you'll get used to it. So get yourself a good book (there are so many of them - I wouldn't recommend a specific one), download XCode, and get the $99 membership in Apple's developer program: you need membership to upload your program to iOS devices (you can debug with a simulator for free).
