At my site http://www.wrong-side-of-the-tracks.com, I have kept all my "Use tinyMCE" boxes checked, however, the buttons do not appear anywhere where they should. In my TinyMCE Configuration box I have the following:
tinyMCE.init({
theme: 'advanced',
height: '250',
language: 'en',
convert_urls: 'true',
mode: 'textareas',
plugins: 'advhr,advimage,advlink,searchreplace,contextmenu,preview,fullscreen,paste',
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, separator, justifyleft, justifycenter, separator, advhr, charmap",
theme_advanced_buttons2: "bullist, numlist, separator, copy, paste, pastetext, pasteword, separator, undo, redo, separator, cleanup, help",
theme_advanced_buttons3: "",
extended_valid_elements: "a[name|href|target|title|onclick]",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align: 'center',
theme_advanced_statusbar_location: 'bottom',
editor_deselector: 'mceNoEditor',
external_image_list_url : 'stories/1/images/imagelist.js',
theme_advanced_resizing: true,
theme_advanced_path: "false",
invalid_elements: 'script,object,applet,iframe'
});
Screen cap here: 
What do I need to do to make those buttons appear?
You turned tinyMCE on for the website (ADMIN->SETTINGS->Site Settings), but did you also do it under your own settings in Account Info (ACCOUNT INFO->EDIT PREFERENCES)? If Both are clicked on, then you should see the buttons I think.

Yes, I do have both clicked on, and I still see no buttons, neither do the others at my site. I've received several questions about what the the check mark next to the "tinyMCE" by everything means, and I tell them what it is and that I'm working on getting them to show.
I may also need to mention that this happened long before version 3.3.1 came out, as well. I just hadn't actively used my site until now.
In my TinyMCE configuration box mine is listed like this:
tinyMCE.init({ mode: "textareas", theme: "advanced", language: "en", browsers: "msie, gecko, opera", plugins: "advhr, advimage, advlink, contextmenu, preview, searchreplace, paste, fullscreen", theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, separator, sub, sup, charmap, separator, justifyleft, justifycenter, justifyright, styleselect, formatselect, separator, bullist, numlist", theme_advanced_buttons2: "cut, copy, paste, pastetext, pasteword, separator, undo, redo, separator, link, unlink, advimage, advhr, cleanup, help, preview, code, fullscreen", theme_advanced_buttons3: "", extended_valid_elements: "a[name|href|target|title|onclick]", theme_advanced_status_location: "bottom", theme_advanced_resizing: "true", theme_advanced_path: "false" });
Rather than the linear way yours is listed. I don't know if it makes a difference but try pasting it in like this and see if it makes a difference. Then try turning tinyMCE off then on again.
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like.

Try deleting the entire tinyMCE config.
I deleted it and entered it back in as it should be (according to Babaca's site) and it still doesn't bring up the box/buttons.
I meant leave it empty.
Are you sure you uploaded all the tinyMCE files? You said you didn't actively use your site - maybe you didn't upload it to begin with. It's a big folder, and it's commonly not uploaded on purpose.
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
