How should I stop 7 segment for counting? It should be only be counting 0-8.

it will become 0 again and continue its task.
I know this, i just didnt stated it.. Cuz i guess its obvious..
Your counter should display the digits 0-8 for the same amount of time (one clock). If you decode 8 and reset the counter, 8 will only be displayed for the time it takes the clock to propagate through the logic and then reset. That time will be less than a microsecond and you won't be able to "see" the 8 on the display.

Describe what conditions you need to reset the counter at 9.
QA needs to be HIGH
QB needs to be LOW
QC needs to be LOW
QD needs to be HIGH
and the output needs to be ?

Ok, let's use these two tables from the previous posts.
7490 TRYTH TABLE.png 7490 TRUTH TABLE 2.png
On the left table; to reset the counter to zero, R0 inputs must be R0(1)=H, R0(2)=H. One of the R9 inputs must be L.

So let's make R9(1) and R9(2) Low.

On the right table, at count "9", QA and QD must be H and QB and QC must be L, right?

Now tell me,
1) What logic gate will output a "H" when both inputs are H?
2) What logic gate will output a "H" when both inputs are L?

Then you can connect those two gates like this....

Now do you get the idea? Once you can understand the above circuit logic, we'll tell you how to simplify the above circuit without the 2 black boxes...

the output is 9. I must low the QA so that the output will be 8?

That isn't what you want, the counter will reset at 1 and the other OR gate will do nothing.

Try describing in words the conditions you want to reset the counter.

When QA is HIGH...
