I cant use 'e ~a 'o ^e 'c

I have 2 macs, a MacMini and a white macbook.

On the macbook, Im able to normally type letters such as "ç" "ã" "é" "ó"

However, on the MacMini, when I try to type this letters, this happens...'e 'c ~a.....for some reason, it doesnt work...

I think its due to the fact that when configuring the OS for the first time, I correctly choose "Brasil" for location in the whitemacook, and I wrongly choose "USA" for location in the MacMini....altough I can be quite sure if its was location or keyboard layout.....anyway, I remember choosing it wrongly.

How do I fix this? I tried messing around System Preferences but I was unsucessfull in finding the correct setting to change.....

You probably want Sys Prefs > Language & Text > Input Sources.

How do you generate the â æ ā i etc? By holding down the particular key then selecting the particular character you want with the mouse?

There are key combinations for most characters commonly found in the input language you have selected.

I finally got it, thanks a lot. BTW, I had to choose US-International instead of US. Brasil did not work either.
