I'm working on a design project, doing some posters. I was wondering what font that seems to be omnipresent in all Apple ads. I spent some time looking through my font library, but couldn't seem to find it.

If anybody could help, that would be great. Thanks...

Also, Apple Garamond is Apple's serif font. It's used for "Think Different" in a lot of their ads, for example.

Myriad comes with Adobe products, doesn't it?

It comes with OS X Tiger. Do a Spotlight search for it, click on Myriad, then click "Install Font."

Yes. But it's not the same as Apple Myriad. And I believe OSX comes with Myriad Pro...which, again, is not the same as Apple Myriad.
