Ok, in that case, there are 2 things to check:
- you have a working set selected that doesn't include your projects
(I've seen one case where eclipse selected 'window working set' and
nothing appeared there anymore)?
- you have some other active filter or the content is not properly
there (that's much more uncommon if you didn't change it)

To check, the working set, go to the pydev package explorer, ctrl+F10
(not sure if it's the same for that menu on mac os, but if it's not,
there's a triangle icon to activate that menu), then choose 'select
working set' and try to select 'no working sets' -- or create a
working set containing the projects you want to work on and select
that working set.

To check the active filters, go to that same menu > customize view and
check if the content contains "pydev navigator content" and
"resources" and if your filters match what you want.

Cheers,
