First is not a cactus(and please rotate the photos before uploading)-probably a euphorbia horrida(caution-plant has very toxic milky sap ) and is etiolated(dont have euphorbias, so cant tell you how to deal with it)
Second is a pilosocereus gouenelii-reccomend moving to brighter are to avoid further etiolation)

For the last one, mammillaria microhelia is a possibility but Mammillaria pink nymph hybrid is more common.
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

First one looks like a smaller-stemmed, more clustering Euphorbia than E. horrida, so maybe E. submammillaris.
It needs a lot more light, the thin spindly new growth is not normal. This also makes an id harder.

Stefan m- This is the post you confused me on. Which picture would I have rotated if they are all upright?

Don't worry, it's just an issue with the forum software.

Stefan m: If you right click and view image then it'll show the picture in its correct orientation. The forum is the one that rotated it, seems there's a bug.
