I am aware of the CPU mining thread at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=267664.0

Do any of the CPU ONLY Cryptos have an easy to use, headache free, hassle free, gui miner?

Bonus if available on mac.
Ah hem because mac is better than PC. (easy to use, headache free, hassle free :-)

The only real strictly ONLY cpu coins are Primecoin and Datacoin as of now. Maybe Bernancoin and cthullu offerings too but it is for fun. i am not sure about thoses.

Now grow up and learn to use computers. 1 month ago i didnt know how to solo mine. I always used pools. Now i solo mine, i also learned the basics of linux an i am able to solo mine or pool mine on linux too. I had never used linux before.

And no, mac are the worsts computers out there. Sorry for that. Next time dont believe the advertisments but trust the reviews of those who know. Yes there are simple but extremely limited and overpriced.

That being said here is a guide i made for windows and linux:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=384112.0

I will surely help you as much as i can. Just post questions there.

As of  now there isnt a mac wallet.

I wanted to support the Quark network and that is a CPU only coin as far as I know. Also, PeerCoin I think, but not sure on that one.

Was looking at an AMD FX-8350 as the CPU. Wonder if there is a MB that can handle two?
But probably will go with a small MB that takes one and just run linux on it.

quark was a cpu coin but now limited gpus can also mined it. In the future more gpus will mine it. Peercoin is exackly like bitcoin so it isnt cpu coin. You can mine it with ASICS.

I used this guide and had no problems whatsoever.  I was up and mining within 20 minutes with just an old i5 Dell laptop.

I've been mining Molecule (Quark clone) with my Macs. It wasn't too difficult to compile and get running
