Master pages don't update site wide

I made a change to my "a" master. Dragging the footer further down. the only way I can get it to update the other pages is to apply, let's say the "b" master to a page then change it back to the "a" master. that is the only way it reflects the change i made. Has anyone else had this problem?

The test site I was working on was done with the very first release with many updates done. I just created a new site and everything seems to work just fine. On a side note, you hear about all the things muse can't do. All are very true, I've built a couple of sites with DW and have spent countless hours in chat rooms and forums trying to figure out things like styling wigets, absoulte DIV's, z-index for menus and on and on. Then when I go back a couple of months later to try and add some pages, I can't remember what the heck I did when I first created the site. Sound familiar?
I'm very comfortable in the InDesign enviroment which helps when using muse. The trade off for that work flow for me is worth the things that aren't yet in muse. It's nice for me to get into muse and see my vision come to life without the brain damage.

Formatted master pages don't auto update in multipage indd doc

Formatted master pages don't auto update in multipage indd doc. When a page is added/removed, folios and rules remain in right page orientation even if they've just become left hand pages, and vice versa. Forced to keep taking the additional steps of applying master to pages which is incredibly annoying/did not use to happen.

How to attach a default master page to a aspx site page ?

Hi
I make a aspx file in the sharepoint designer 2013, and I place a hyperlink inside the form.
It do well
Then I try to attach a master page.
In the sharepoint designer menu I click at the style button, then click at the attach button and select
the default master page "oslo"
But when I open the site in the internet browser, the site comes with an error.
Below here is the code before and after attaching the master page

Hi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you added the master page to a aspx site page.
Please do as follows:
1. Use "~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/custom.master" instead of "~masterurl/custom.master" .
2. Remove the form tag.
Code:

Master pages not applying to site and subsites

I am having an issue with a master page not applying to a site and subsites. The site is created using the community template and has the following hierarchy:
TopLevel: SharePoint Central - server/SPCtrlv2/sitepages/welcome.aspx (webpart page)
subsite1: Community - server/SPCtrlv2/community/sitepages/categories.aspx (community template)
subsite2: Learn - server/SPCtrlv2/learn/pages/default.aspx (publisher template)
subsite3: Showcase - server/SPCtrlv2/showcase/default.aspx (blog template)
The community site was created and then the Welcome page was changed to point to the Welcome.aspx location. (not sure if that matters) When making the application from the top level via Site Settings > Look and Feel > Master Page > dropdown from
Site Master Page (SPC_Global), the master is only applying to the Learn sub site. In SP Designer, the master page/ css files are not showing although they are on the site. (Using designer 2010)
I was able to apply the master with no problem when the top level used the publisher site template. Unfortuately, the community template is not available at the sub site level so we created a new site with the community template at the top.
Any guidance you can provide is much appreciated

Hi,
According to your description, you want to apply master page to all sub sites.
Did you use SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013?
If you use SharePoint 2013, you may need to use SharePoint Designer 2013 to find the master page file.
For applying master page to all subsites, I suggest you do as the followings:
1. Make sure you have enabled the “Reset all subsites to inherit this site master page setting” in the Top Level “site
setting”->”site master page setting”.
2. Check whether you have enabled “Inherit site master page from parent of this site” in the “site setting”->” site master page setting” of each sub site.
There are some detailed articles for your reference:

Custom master pages don't appear in all site collections within same App

I created an additional site collection within an existing application which has a preexisting site collection.
The preexisting site collection uses a custom master page:
.../_Layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
that doesn't appear in
.../newsite/_Layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
Anything I need to do in
.../_catalogs/masterpage/forms/allitems.aspx
to apply the masterpage to the new site?
<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl00_ctl00_resetSubSitesCheckBox">Thanks,</label>
Scott<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl00_ctl00_resetSubSitesCheckBox"></label>

Hey,
I don't get the problem completely. I undestand that your custom masterpage, which you created once for an existing site collection, does not appear in a newly created site collection. So what where your deployment steps for the custom masterpage?
Generally you would create the masterpage via Visual Studio and deploy it within a feature to the catalogs library, either in web-scope or in site-scope. A feature event receiver applys the masterpage to the current website (in web-scope) or to all webs
in the site collection (in site-scope) on feature activating. But in both scopes you need to active the feature in every site collection (or website).
So please tell us how you deployed the masterpage.

How can I create a custom feature, which will automatically take a custom master page while creating a site ?

Hello ,
I am new in Sharepoint development . I am trying to create a Sharepoint feature to Activate master page automatically while creating the site .Below mentioned code I am using to do this .
But When I am creating any site under site collection .It is not applying automatically . I have to manually Activate that feature .
SPSite site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
SPWeb rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
Uri masterUri = new Uri(rootWeb.Url + "/_catalogs/masterpage/mycustom.master");
rootWeb.MasterUrl = masterUri.AbsolutePath;
rootWeb.CustomMasterUrl = masterUri.AbsolutePath;
rootWeb.Update();
How Can I create a feature that can activate the master page at same time of site creation under Site collection ,Without any manual work ..
Thanks in Advance ..

Hi,
You can associate master page during feature activation as follows:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19933.sharepoint-2010-set-a-custom-master-page-during-feature-activation.aspx
Then, you can use feature stapling to apply automatically on site creation:

Master Pages don't transfer when I change page size in a book

I had exactly the same problem in CS4, which is why I switched to CS5.5 -- but apparently nothing has changed.
I have a book of about 30 chapters. It was originally set up in 6x9 format, but after it was all formatted, my client decided he wanted the pages 5x8.
It should be easy, right? Just change the layout for the master pages of the Style Source document, fix the text sizing, etc. Then in each ensuing chapter, just download the new masters from the style source document. When I get a warning asking me if the master pages in the target document should be overwritten, I say yes and it does its thing.
Only it doesn't work. Oh, the text in the masters is all over the place, which is to be expected -- but the master pages and the book pages are still 6x9, not 5x8.
I tried synchronizing the book, being careful that Master Pages is checked in the options. I got a warning that some of the text would need to be fixed. No problem. Except that the pages in all the documents except the Style Source are still 6x9!!
I have a feeling I've wasted my money on the upgrade. A lot of bells and whistles have been added, but the CS4 problems aren't solved.
Please, can somebody help? I do this for a living, and I'm wasting waaaaaay too much time trying to clean up messes like these.

No, Peter, I never solved it. But thank you for asking!
I finally started a whole new book, with the smaller master pages. I saved a few blank pages for each chapter file, then I copied and pasted the text of each chapter onto the new pages. Fortunately I was able to transfer paragraph and character styles to the new document, and the formatting of the copied text transferred also.
But it was still a lot of work.
I don't even want to think about trying to design a document with different size pages!

CS4 master pages don't transfer

I created a book using a 6x9 format, but after I got the entire 39 chapters formatted, I realized I needed to switch to 5x8 format. It should be easy -- just move the new masters I created in Chapter 1 to the other chapters. Only it doesn't work.
I did what the instructions said: opened both chapters 1 and 2 and in the Page flyout menu, selected "move pages". I selected Chapter 2 as my destination. But nothing happened. The masters in Chapter 2 are still 6x9.
I tried synchronizing the entire book using Chapter 1 as the Style Source, but that doesn't work, either. None of the masters changed. Yes, I selected Master Pages in the Synchronization menu.
I also tried to import master pages using the Pages flyout menu. That didn't work, either.
I even tried deleting the 6x9 master pages. Well, that was a disaster! InDesign crashed.
Having to reformat all the masters for all 39 chapters is ridiculous, but I can't see any other way to do it.
HELP!!

Pages don't open--site hangups?

I am using 10.4.6 on a mac-mini, Safari, and my internet connecton is dial-up through Draytek external modem (my only choice). I have noticed for some time that after I have been on the net for awhile, and visited 5-10 sites, the pages will begin to fail to open. The blue highlight in the address bar will only go as far as http: and stop. I have closed and reopened Safari, emptied cache, rebooted, and reconnected to Internet, but none of these seem to solve the problem once it starts. This can be on any kind of sites, including Apple support, ebay, etc., as well as the one-offs.
I am aware this could be a problem with my (Italian) ISP and their server, and not caused at my end of the cable, but what triggers it? Seems to work fine for awhile, then switches into the hang-up mode, and it happens often, but not every time I am connected. I would appreciate anything else I could look into or try to narrow the problem, just so I know what I am dealing with, and I could adjust the settings, try later, or whatever. Thanks for info and your experiences.

After Mavericks, Keynote, Numbers and Pages don't update to latest version.

OK, I already had the latest Keynote, Numbers and Pages installed for Snow Leopard.
I have upgraded to Mavericks and then updated those softwares.
The thing is that those won't update to the latest versions. When I open any of them it shows the previous (old) version and not Keynote 6, Pages 5 and Numbers 3.
Any ideas?

Marcos, the Keynote, Numbers and Pages are not replacing the old version. if you have updated through the AppStore you have the new version and the old version installed in your computer!
Go to the spotlight search and type the name Keynote, Numbers and Pages and you will see the icon of the new and old app. double click the new icon and voila you have the new version of the iWorks.

Master Page updated , but changes are visible only for that Page(site) alone ?

I updated v4.master in SharePoint designer to add a bread crum navigation control
<div class="BreadCrumbWrap s4-notdlg">
       <asp:SiteMapPath runat="server" SiteMapProvider="SPContentMapProvider" id="ContentMap"   CssClass="BreadCrumbStyle" PathSeparator=">">
       <CurrentNodeStyle CssClass="BreadCurrentNode" />
       <PathSeparatorStyle CssClass="BreadPathSeparator" />
        </asp:SiteMapPath>
      </div>
But the changes are visible only in that site. all other sites dont have bread crum control,
I added the bread crum in header section, and also in page layout section, but there is no change (bread crum navigation only visible in that site alone)
Why ?
I always thought master page edits will be visible in all sites of a site collection,
Am i going wrong some where (My site collection has about 30-35 sites, and new sites are created every now and then )
Please help
rn

If the publishing features are turned on then the master pages for all the sites in the site collection are pulled from the master page gallery of the root site. But if Publishing hasn't been enabled then each site uses the v4.master in its own master
page gallery. It sounds like you haven't enabled the Publishing Infrastructure site collection feature and Publishing Site Feature in the root site of your site collection.

Custom HTML Master Page not updating when activating Feature via PowerShell

I created a WSP to deploy a HTML Master Page. I later have code that will publish this Master Page to create a .master, but I stripped this out just to simplify things. My issue is with the first step - getting the HTML Master Page file to
update by activating the feature using PowerShell. I don't understand why it's not working - I'm not even using this Master Page currently. Plus, oddly the master page does update if I go into the UI and deactivate/activate my feature.
I can easily reproduce this problem using the following steps:
1. Created a SharePoint Empty Project named SharePointProject1
2. Added a Module named Module1
3. Added a HTML Master Page called MyMaster.html and updated the elements.xml file for the Module1 with the following:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="Module1" Url="_catalogs/masterPage/Test">
    <File Path="Module1\MyMaster.html" Url="MyMaster.html" ReplaceContent="TRUE" Level="Published" Type="GhostableInLibrary">
      <Property Name="Title" Value="My Master Page" />
      <Property Name="MasterPageDescription" Value="My Master Page" />
      <Property Name="UIVersion" Value=";#15;#" />
      <Property Name="HtmlDesignAssociated" Value="TRUE" />
      <Property Name="ContentType" Value="Html Master Page" />
    </File>
</Module>
</Elements>
4. Deployed the WSP and activated the Feature containing Module1
5. Updated the HTML Master Page
6. Re-deployed the WSP
7. Deactivated the feature and Reactivated the feature using PowerShell
     => _catalogs/masterpage/test folder still has OLD file - Why??
    $deployFeatureId = "575ec423-1b20-404c-8b2c-d160426c53e7"
    Disable-SPFeature -Identity $deployFeatureId -Url
http://sp2013local -confirm:$false
    Enable-SPFeature -Identity $deployFeatureId -Url
http://sp2013local
8. Deactivated the feature and Reactivated the feature through UI
     => _catalogs/masterpage/test folder now has the correct file
I even added event receiver code to delete the HTML file on deactivation but that still didn't work.

Hi Sagar,
The second link isn't applicable for me because I'm not setting the Master Page for the site collection just yet. I'm just trying to get the version to be correct in the master page library first.
For the first link, I am trying to publish a Master Page, not a Page Layout. I did try adding some similar code that I found from this article,
http://www.eliostruyf.com/provision-your-html-designs-master-pages-page-layouts-to-sharepoint-2013/
but the same result. PowerShell is still copying an old version of the file to the Master Page Gallery, but the activating/deactivating the feature in the UI works fine.
Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="Module1" Url="_catalogs/masterPage/Test">
    <File Path="Module1\MyMaster.html" Url="MyMaster.html" ReplaceContent="TRUE" Level="Draft" Type="GhostableInLibrary">
    </File>
</Module>
</Elements>
    public class Feature1EventReceiver : SPFeatureReceiver
        public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
            SPSite site = (SPSite)properties.Feature.Parent;
            PublishMasterPage(site, "/_catalogs/masterpage/Test/MyMaster.html");
        public void PublishMasterPage(SPSite site, string filePath)
            SPFile file = site.RootWeb.GetFile(filePath);
            if (file.CheckOutType != SPFile.SPCheckOutType.None)
                file.Item.Update();
            else
                file.CheckOut();
                file.Item.Update();
            file.CheckIn("Checked in by the branding deploy feature", SPCheckinType.MajorCheckIn);
            if (file.DocumentLibrary.EnableModeration)
                file.Approve("Approved by the branding deploy feature");
