No Radio button in itunes11.1

After upgading to itunes 11.1 I don't have a radio tab. The tabs I have when in my music library are Songs, Albums, Artist, Genres, Playlist & Internet.

In my itunes general preferences there is a check box for "internet radio", it toggels on the internet tab. Under the internet tab there is a list of 25 genres on the left. It looks nothing like the itunes radio images on Apple.com.

When I go into the itunes store & click the itunes radio quick link I'm taken to my albums library. If I click the browes stations link in the itunes store, I'm taken to the stations page, but when I click on a station icon nothing happens.

This happens on a Mac Pro & Mac Book both running 10.6.8.

What am I missing?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I was having the same problem, and I got it to work.

I went to preferences / parental / and checked "internet radio" to disable it, hit okay.
Go back into preferences and uncheck it, hit okay.

That last thing seemed to readjust something inside iTunes and now I see "Radio" in the toolbar and can get into to iTunes radio, as well as the old "Internet" thing.

Some people have screen shots that show "Radio" in prefernces / general, but I don't. I only see "Internet Radio". But this doesn't seem to be an issue.

I hope this helps someone else.

To use iTunes Radio, you must have iOS 7 or OS X Lion v10.7 or later, iTunes 11.1, or Apple TV 6.0 or later installed on your device or computer as well as an Apple ID for use in the iTunes Store. And it's only available in the USA so far.

If it's only available in the US, then it should not show it as a feature of the download while it is prompting you to install it (on OS X) in the UK. But it does. :-(

So has Apple removed all of the original radio stations that we used to listen to in the UK?

We used to run an internet radio station that iTunes listed. Now we cant seem to find it.

UKD.

The internet radio stations are exactly where they were, but the name of the button in the toolbar has been changed from 'Radio' to 'Internet' to avoid confusion with iTunes Radio. If you don't see the button you will need to enable it in Preferences>General.

Tried it, but doesn't help. I remember I had internet radio a couple of weeks ago though. It just doesn't want to show up anymore.

It is not in the pull down menu anymore!

Have a look at the image:

look to the right ⚠ of the pull down menu ⚠ where you see "Music", now continue at that part and follow with your eyes to the right and look at the middle section: on the RIGHT click "Internet"

Thats' not logic right? Internet radio should be in the pull down menu, right?

Do you not see these settings? (iTunes 11.2)

EDIT: I see you've found it while I was writing this.
