Cactus 5 looks to be some sort of aloe.
Cactus 7 I don't think is a cactus but rather a Euphorbia.

I'm not sure about the others. Sorry I couldn't be more specific. I'm still new to this.

I have seen 4 & 6 before but I am unsure as to what they are.

2 Opuntia microdasis
6 Tephrocactis artoculatus

The rest are not cacti.

Haha I have 2 opuntia microdasis so I should have known that one but the picture didn't load for me initially.

Cactus 2 is indeed opuntia microdasis

1 & 4 are Haworthias
3 Sedum morganianum
5 Aloe, probably Aloe marlothii
7. A stapeliad. Probably a Huernia. You need open flowers to identify them, so get a good picture and post it in a few days when it opens.

#7's flower buds definitely identify it as a stapeliad - easy to mistake for a Euphorbia, otherwise.

The Opuntia and the Tephrocactus are both species that need strong sunlight. You should pot the Haworthia and Opuntia separately, and gradually introduce those two cacti to more sun. Be careful, they can be sunburned when they're not used to it.
