apps/music/photo sync **after** clean install of iOS 7 I am preparing to upgrade to iOS 7.0+ via a clean install. From what I've read, this method is best to minimize the chance of taking a hit on battery performance. If I understand correctly, a clean install wipes my phone and puts it into a "brand new, just out of the box state."

My question is - do I just re-sync my clean phone using iTunes to get my music and photos (stored in iPhoto) back on my newly upgraded phone? If this isn't correct, can someone please respond with the best method or direct me to a site that will offer the instructions?
Yes. When you do a clean install of iOS 7 no to your device, iTunes will prompt you to set up your device. When asked to restore from backup, choose Set up as new iPhone. This will mean that you don't restore your data and preserve your 'fresh' install.



Use the tabs across the top of iTunes to select exactly what you would like to sync back to your device. Apps that you sync to your device using the Apps tab in iTunes do not restore the app data, unless the app data is stored in iCloud, or through some other method of syncing data (i.e. Dropbox content that is pulled from Dropbox servers).
