Tomato diseases

This is my first time gardening and I am excited to be getting lots of tomatoes finally. However by now all the plants are looking diseased. I was curious what all the different diseases are (each plant seems to have its own problem), and if it's too late to do anything about it.

Black cherry tomatoes:

Big Beef (possible cold damage?)

Leaves starting to yellow and turn brown:

Black spots on leaves:

Big Beef in containers, leaves start looking like this:

And then turn to this:

If it were me I would trim off all bad foliage. Dispose of it don't compost. Then I would spray the plants once a week with neem oil at there suggested strength. or diluted milk 1 to 10 parts water. I would go with the neem.

Thanks! Trimmed most of it off today... seems if it continues this way there will be no leaves left!

I had the same problem last year I took over 1-2 months to kill all plants though, and the fruit was OK don't know what it was, Fungus maybe
