    (Yes I have done a search on the forums and yes i did find the you might suggest I look at, but i know way dose it help that's why I'm creating a new one)
     
    So on my old computer I ran the steam back up utility and backed up my old games now I've restored them and none of the steam cloud games have the saves and settings they originally did so I am wondering how do you run the steam cloud thing so that all the info that is synced with steam cloud is downloaded back to my new computer?

    @XxRANGAxX: Right click on the game you want to use the Steam Cloud for; go to Properties then over to the Updates tab;  Then make sure that you have Steam Cloud Synchronization on. Double check that for both computers, and it should be fine.

    @XxRANGAxX: I think you might be out of luck through Steam Cloud. Best option if it stays like this is to send the save data to a flash drive and bring it over. Heck, if it's small enough, you might be able to even upload it to a sharing service and transfer it that way.
