Acoustic Guitar Machine
is it normal that my guitar has different notes?
The E note at the 12th fret of the 6th string is a little higher than the open E (on the same string) of my acoustic guitar.
Is there something I can do to fix it? or is it normal?
The guitar is in tune via a tuning machine thingy
What?? You most CERTAINLY can adjust this problem on an acoustic guitar. Just because electric guitars are slightly different doesn't mean it's impossible on an acoustic, lol.
All you are doing (when you do this) is changing the length of the string. Most acoustic guitars have something near the bridge called a "saddle" which you can move around to adjust this intonation problem quite easily. That's your first line of business. A lot of electric guitars have an almost identical thing. It should have the same name, too. I don't understand why someone would say it's "impossible" on an acoustic. Makes no sense to me.
In fact, I have a video here explaining the basics on how it works.

If the saddles don't do it and the other tricks you read about don't work, then there is still hope.
Try different strings and if that doesn't work see how much your local repair shop will charge you to do this work for you. Talk to them about strings, show them the instrument. Ask them for advice on how to correct this minor problem quickly and painlessly (because you already know it's an easy fix, and because you will not buy strings there if they jack you around).
Definitely ignore the people who are telling you that your frets are wrong. That's silly. How hard is it to use a ruler and measure something? Not very.
Next time you buy an acoustic figure out what kind of strings it currently has and whether or not it is playable. Keep using similar strings and talk to a professional if you decide to make drastic changes to the tension, etc.
Hope this helps you with your specific needs.
When you locate the saddles and mess with them a bit, that should do the trick. THEN START PLAYING!! weeeee.
