Ok, so as many of you probably already know, OS X and Windows are very different.
Such as the fact that in OS X resource packs are folders and in Windows they are .zip files.
Does anyone know how to make an OS X resource pack compatible with Windows? It would be very much appreciated.

No. resource packs *should* be .ZIPs no matter if Windows or OS X or Linux. The only time they really should be a folder is if you're the maker of that resource pack, meaning you're constantly editing it so need to be able to reload the pack without restarting the game (also, f3+t will reload a folder pack without needing to pause).
If it's not a .ZIP, that means OS X is doing something wrong with the .ZIP when you download it, like automatically unzipping it. This could be Safari's doing, maybe try Chrome, Firefox, or Opera if so. If not, try going into the settings, I found a thing in search that said:
Also, if a pack works on OS X, it should work exactly the same on Windows or Linux. If it doesn't, you might be copying it over incorrectly.

look down under "Remove Download list" .
See the "Open "safe " files after downloading" box.
Is it checked? If so, uncheck it.
