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.

Re: I need help identifying a few cacti and succulents
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.

Re: I need help identifying a few cacti and succulents
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.
