How do I adjust water temperature on a Pegasus shower head?

Adjustment is usually on the valve assembly. Take off the big round trim ring and you will find the adjustment on the valve assembly or in the valve stem.

Have hot water in the bathroom sink spigot, but the shower is the single handle and turned on all the way, water is not hot...too much cold mixing, How do you adjust it?

You need to take the handle off...ususally held on with a small allen screw on the bottom side of the handle. After removing the handle there should be a dial setting.

I do not have enough hot water from my shower head. I have plenty of hot water in my bathroom and kitchen sink. What can I do to remedy the problem?

the problem is the hot/cold mix is set wrong ---
remove the water control handle to expose the mix valve -- you should see a small set screw that will either increase or decrease the travel of the hot water valve. --- sometimes instead of a set screw there is a little pop off plastic set ring,, pop off and set to a more advanced travel.
this will increase the amount of hot water that flows to the shower head and the bath tap.

When turning on the shower faucet there is no hot water.

Can you remove handle , behind handle there should be a dial to move to increase hot or cold supply.

Remember where you start and remove it and replace a 1/8 to 1/4 turn counter clockwise, just put handle on try it and see if it changes and adjust accordingly.

No hot water in sink and shower

it sounds like 1(or more) of the motorised valves arent working.find the valve and make sure you are getting power to it via a tester,if so then it probably needs the head on the motorised valve changed

Cold water only from single-arm shower faucet in master bathroom

Yes - This is an easy (though not widely known) diy fix! Remove the cover of the faucet handle (may pop off if crystal type or use a screwdriver to remove the screws) inside there is a scald guard safety mechanism - using a flathead screwdriver, turn the guard some the left. There should be a guide so that you do not turn the water up too hot. If there is not, you may need to consult a plumber or supplier in order to adjust the hot to a moderate temperature.

Hope this helps! ;)

I can't get hot water from the pegasus shower valve

The antiscald device needs to be adjusted. It's behind the escucheon and determines the amount of hot water flow.
