"It's" should be used to replace the words "it is" or "it has." For example,

It's been a long time. (It has been a long time.)

It's up to you. (It is up to you.)

"It's" should never be used as a possessive. The correct possessive form of "it" is "its" (without an apostrophe). For example, "Every dog has its day."
