The problem is that you exported in the mac format using the `.tic` file extension, so your computer thinks it's in the TIC format while it's not.
I think you should be able to read it with a mac if you remove the `.tic` file extension (not sure if an other file extension must be used on mac).
I guess you overwrote your saved TIC file while exporting to mac. Pay attention to distinguish your TIC file and the exported files.

I hope it's clear, tell me if not.

So in the future I should just omit the `.tic` extension, and it will do it's thing? I didn't realize there was a difference between `test` and `test.tic` in this usage! Thanks for clarifying.

So in the future I should be able to do something like `export mac test` instead of `export mac test.tic` and it will create a new file that I should be able to open on a mac to continue editing? Is there anything else I should know about the export behavior? 

I was able to recover my code (fortunately had it saved elsewhere), and just had to recreate my sprite sheets and map, so hopefully I can avoid this issue in the future!
