Animation help please!

So when I go onto the animator controller and try to put a motion in my new state noting happens for example, I will click the circle (selection screen) go over to assets and click on my animation that i want to use when i have it and press done noting happens it still just asks for a motion? if you understand please help if u dont... try too lol

 

Try dragging one of those animation clips from the Project view onto the Animator canvas. If it won't go, make sure the clip is Mecanim-compatible.

 

I have tried this and if it makes a difference i am not using unity pro, i have done every way to get it on there and they didnt work it has to be something else

 

I bet the answer is somewhere in these tutorials: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/animation
