    Scripts cannot *select* pages (that is, make them appear ‘selected’ in the Pages panel).

    But “selecting pages” is, on itself, not a useful task. Can you explain WHY you want to have them selected? Do you want to print them, or export, delete, find text, apply a master, or anything else?

    try this:

    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    var myPages = myDocument.pages;

    //change i=0 – for select odd; or i=1 – for select even
    for (i=0; i<(myDocument.pages.count()); i=i+2){
    myPages.item(i).select(SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);
    }

    (Alexey: funny, it seems pages *are* selectable in the latest version! But it’s not necessary to apply a master.)

    In the place of “MasterName”, below, fill in the exact name of the master that you want to apply. That is *with* the Prefix and the full name, such as “A-Master”.

    
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    var myPages = myDocument.pages;
    var myMaster = myDocument.masterSpreads.item("MasterName");
    //change i=0 – for select even; or i=1 – for select odd
    for (i=0; i<myPages.length; i=i+2)
    {
        myPages.appliedMaster = myMaster;
    }
