This is done to help with the pronunciation, because the following word begins with a vowel sound. Otherwise we would have to say 'tu te appelles'. The same goes for the articles le or la which can become l', and de or des which are turned into a d' before a noun beginning by a vowel sound.

A possessive pronoun does not take an apostrophe. This is an exception to the rule that an apostrophe indicates the possessive. To write, 'the dog lost it's bone,' is not correct. The correct way is without the apostrophe: 'The dog lost its bone.' 'It's' (i.e., with an apostrophe) is correct only when used as a contraction of 'it is.'
