I speak 4 languages so I use different accents all the time. Until recently, all I had to do was hold on the key for a second and then all the different accent options would pop up but now, when I hold a key, the letter just repeats. How do I fix this?
MacBook
Start with this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

An alternative way to make accents in case you can't get the Character Picker to work right away is via Option Key shortcuts.
Accents on keyboard
