How do you get all of the light switches to be in the down position for off when you have more than one switch for them?
Three way switches do not have a up-on down-off position. With the lights off, reposition the switches so that the handles are all down. This is the start position and depending on how you enter the room and turn on the lights certain switches will be left up when you leave the room. That is just the design of the switches and for the asthetics of the look, all handles down the lights will be out.
How do you install a dimmer switch for multi fixtures where the original switch has 2 black wires and one red with no green?

How do you control 4 light in one switch and the same lights control by 4 switches?
You want four switches to independently turn 4 lights on and off. You need two 3-way switches, and two 4-way switches. The first 3-way is located where the power first comes into this system, two travelers (wires) go to the first 4-way switch, two travelers then go from that switch to the other 4-way switch and two wires go to the final 3 way switch. The third wire on the last 3 way switch then goes to the first light fixture. This is a complicated wiring project and it is not as simple as it sounds. Realistically, you will have more than 2 wires traveling between switches depending on whether the neutral is located, and further more dependent on whether power from the panel first comes to a switch or to a light fixture. You need to plan this well or you may have more wires in one or more boxes than code allows. Also, wires must be attached in particular positions on all the switches, or you will end up with a situation where some of the switches will work and some won't and troubleshooting is very complex.
