jQuery: $. vs. jQuery

I am too confused in this two types of jquery $('#id') and jQuery('#id').

I have a form and in this form I have included so many jquery files for different functionality. All are working as expected. Now I want to include one more jquery for banners floating and I have configured all setting as displayed.

When I load the page It dispalys this following lines in console

TypeError: $(".side-ads").scrollToFixed is not a function

TypeError: jQuery(".auth").autocomplete is not a function

So I get confused in between this kind of confliction. Is there any way I can remove this confliction ??

    $ and jQuery both point to the window.jQuery object, so they are one and the same

    the reason some scripts use jQuery instead of $ is to prevent conflicts with other libraries such as prototype or different versions of jquery which both also use the $ variable.

    jQuery defines a nice solution to resolve conflicts: jQuery.noConflict. By using this function you can define your own name, where jQuery will be accessible.
