An information processing apparatus includes an interface unit, a detection unit, an unmount unit, a display unit, and a control unit. The interface unit connects a reader/writer device, which is capable of receiving a memory storage medium. The detection unit detects a connection and a disconnection between the interface unit and the reader/writer device. The unmount unit sets the memory storage medium to an unmounted state. The a display unit display information about a detection result by the detection unit. The control unit controls, in response to the detection unit detecting that the reader/writer device is temporary disconnected from the interface unit, the display unit not to display information about the temporary disconnection of the reader/writer device from the interface unit.
