So I do my photos on my laptop and my hubby likes to take it to work so I have my nintendo wii and I look at my stuff online. Well, it looks different on my tv, than when i look at my laptop so i was wondering if this pic: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=470419 is too yellow or not? My tv shows that its yellow???!!!

It appears to have a yellowy (is that a word?) and cyan cast.

The same thing happens to me. I do most of my editing on my laptop, but they always end up looking much darker on other computers. My laptop seems to show the pics very brignt. Very straaaaaaaaange.

That is because they are calibrated different.
Apple has a build in callibration system, so you can change the screen so that is looks more like other monitors.

The whites of the cat are yellow on my uncalibrated "work" monitor.

does it look yellow on your monitor? If so, and we all see yellow then it likely IS yellow...

You can fix fairly easy in Photoshop or other program that you can adjust color balance or individual colors.

perhaps a fellow DPCer who is near you has a monitor calibration device? That is really the only thing I can think of that might help.
