Hello there fiorelae,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing an issue with your accent menu not showing up. I am more than happy to help you out with this.


Before beginning any troubleshooting, please be sure that you have a backup of all of your information. To do this, check out this article:


Back up your Mac with Time Machine


To troubleshoot, I would recommend resetting the NVRAM on your device. For information on what this involves and how-to steps, follow this article:


Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac


If you are still having the same issue, try to see if you are able to reproduce the issue in Safe Mode and in another user. These are two separate troubleshooting steps. Follow the articles below for guidance:

How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac


I hope this helps! Have a great day!
