How do i change Maps on Mac desktop from km to miles

is there a way to change the setting in the Maps application for my imac. directions are displayed in km. on my IOS evices it displays correctly but i cant find option to change it in maps. r/

One thing to try:
System Preferences, Language & Region, Advanced, Measurement Units: set it to US (instead of metric).
Then restart Maps and see if that helped.

    How do you change the distance units in the new Maps application on Mavericks from KM to miles?

    The scale in Maps follows your regional settings in System Preferences > Language & Region > Region.
    Selecting United States, for example, will use English units (feet and statute miles).
    There may be other methods I'm unaware of.

    How do I change the font of desktop icons?

    OS X only permits changing the font size but not the font itself. There are third-party interface modifiers that may enable you to make more extensive changes, but since the basic system fonts are embedded they are not easily changed. The freeware tool, TinkerTool, can be used to make some font changes, but icon fonts. Look for it and other software at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • How can I change my computer's language from English to Spanish?

    How can I change my computer's language from English to Spanish? My computer is an iMac G3 (CRT) and it has Mac OS 9 installed.

    This isn't possible in Mac OS 9.2.2 and earlier without doing a full installation of the Spanish version of the OS, which requires an installation disk containing it.

  • HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    Hi sparkie,
    You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
    Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

    Hope this helps!

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

  • How do you change the Print Products Store from USA to UK like you can do in IPhoto?

    How do you change the Print Products Store from USA to UK like you can do in IPhoto?

    Please keep in mind that Aperture is not an enhanced iPhoto, it is a different application with a different philosophy and a different intended audience. If you approach it with that in mind you will have a lot less frustration as you learn Aperture.
    Aperture adds a layer of complexity that is not needed by many.  iPhoto is a very powerful application and fits the needs of many amateur photographers.
    As for your original issue, as I said I am surprised that iPhoto allows you do switch countries like that and am not surprised that Aperture doesn't. If this is something you really need to do working in Aperture but using iPhoto to order the prints is a good work around and will not be all that difficult to do once you get the hang of it.
    As for your new question, the books in iPhoto and Aperture are different enough that the code that created the book in iPhoto wouldn't work in Aperture. What happens when you import an iPhoto library into Aperture is that the images in the book are combined into an album in Aperture with the same name as the iPhoto book. You will need to re-create the book in Aperture uaing the images in this album.
    Hope this helps, post back if you have anymore questions.
    regards
