I think 3 is Cotyledon orbiculata, 4 is Aloe mitriformis.

Euphorbias have characteristic white milky sap - this is toxic and caustic in most species so be careful if you come into contact with it.

I'm having real trouble identifying number 1. It seems like a Euphorbhia, I just can't figure out what species of Euphorbia it is. There is over 2000 Euphorbhia specie's making it real hard for me too identify it. Thankyou.

Lots of Euphorbias look pretty similar!
My guess would be E. polygona, but I wouldn't get too hung up on an exact id - I'd bet the care is similar to this species.
You could check which plants your local nurseries stock and try to match this to their selection.
