a.  correct
b.  check the position of the methyl groups
c.  I'm not sure but I think it may be cyclobutyl-cyclopentane.

Correct.  I would exclude the hyphen.

Oh..well looking at it again I think it is

2,2-dimethyl-1-butanol

for the first a.) molecule that can't be right or is it the computer is just being difficult since it keeps telling me that it's incorrect.

for the cycloalkane molecule..does anyone have a website that they can link me to that can help me out with naming cycloalkanes ?

Thanks  :)

Re a), assuming you've cut and paste directly from your incorrect answers look very carefully and what you've written and the spelling.
