Live Paint Bucket Tool

I'm new to illustrator and I'm hoping someone can help me with the live paint tool. I'm using CS5 on a mac. I've watched several tutorials that show the live paint bucket tool directly under the eyedropper tool in the side toolbar, but I'm showing a "Symbol Sprayer Tool" there instead. I can't find the Live Paint Bucket Tool anywhere...any suggestions on how to locate this tool? Thanks!

    Right between the perspective grid tool and the free transform tool in CS5. The tool state defaults to the shape builder tool and the live paint bucket is in that same group.

    If you are still unable to find it like I was unable to you can a) click on the little three dots at the very bottom of the toolbar. It will then open up  the "All tools" box and you will see it there. Or you can (b) press the letter "K" on your keyboard and it will be active.
