Well, I am very surprised to hear about the problems you have been having. I run the same system as you. I have three versions of Mathematica installed on my MacBook Pro: 6.03, 7 and 8. I can run any of them without problems (not at the same time, of course). The only thing I have done was to rename the applications Mathematica v.6 as Mathematica 6.03 and Mathematica v. 7 as Mathematica 7. The application Mathematica 8 is named Mathematica. I did the renaming before installing the newer version of course. That's all. I have never had any problems with my installation. I feel one of us must be failing to notice something very simple ;-).
