Does anybody know the name of the font (the one that's usually large type) that's in most of their ads on their website?
 
Actually, it's a modified Myriad Bold, not the generic Myriad Bold, or Myriad Pro set. But, they're close enough to fool just about anyone.
 
They actually use a customized font called Apple Garamond. You can find it on underground servers and such although you can achieve a similar look by modifying Adobe Garamond. Apple's font looks slightly narrower width wise but very similar. Lowering the horizontal scale and tweaking the serifs will work. Most large corporations have customized fonts which they distribute to their staff and vendors and not to the public.
 
Apple Garamond was the serif typeface they used a lot in the mid nineties. Since then, they use Myriad. To my understanding, it's Myriad bold.

They haven't used Chicago since the early nineties, when it was the Apple system font.
