I'm using Mysql Server 5.6. I've setup master-slave replication and its working fine. The only problem is, when i get the master server up the data from the slave is not updated automatically to the master.

What you need to do to shutdown your Master correctly is:

  1. In your SLAVE node --> STOP SLAVE;
  2. Shutdown SLAVE node
  3. Shutdown your Master node

For starting your system again:

  1. Start your Master
  2. Start your SLAVE node
  3. In your SLAVE node --> START SLAVE;

EDITED When you use a DB replica, it is suposed to copy from your MASTER instance to your SLAVE instance, never the other way. You shouldn't be updating your replica (SLAVE) when your MASTER get's down.
