There's a simple fix, with jQuery you can set a custom var or use jQuery to stop other scripts from conflicting with it. Simply change all the jQuery $ referees

jQuery().ready()

etc etc....

Also the way you declare your ready state can be shorted to

jQuery(function(){
    // Code Here
});

as your not directly declaring any part of the JS to wait till the page is finished loading. You can read about jQuery.noConflict more here http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.noConflict/
