Tried to download latest version of iTunes but...

Thought I was updating my 8.something but I now have 9.02 0n my desktop and still have 8.something as operating itunes. It downloaded to an icon on my desktop. I tried to install from there but still have 8.something in there. Restarted countless times. No change. Help? Thanks in advance

Does the icon of what you are seeing on your desktop look rather like a hard drive? If so, that's a disk image and contains the installer for iTunes 9. Double-click on that icon and when the window opens up you should see a couple of files including one that says "iTunes.mpkg". Double-click on that one and follow the instructions. Or you can just use Software Update and if there's an iTunes update it should show it and offer to install.
If you've run that and you're still seeing iTunes 8, you may have duplicate copies. This is particularly possible if you moved iTunes from the Applications folder or changed it's name. Look in Applications and see if you find a copy of iTunes. Get Info on it and see what version is shows. If that's iTunes 9, then it would seem you have another copy of iTunes somewhere. Do a Spotlight search for iTunes and see what turns up.
Hope this helps.
